 Overly excited puppy needs some manner!
So Oliver is 4 months old now and he is a very loving and most of the time overly excited puppy every time he meets people and other dogs. Trust me I love it when I see him in the morning and after work he would jump on me, licking and nipping my hands my face. It shows how happy he is to see me. But I think he needs to calm down a little, both for me and for others, because he does the same thing to strangers and other dogs, and I personally think it's rude. Ideally I want him to sit calmly until the person decide to approach and pet him then he can lick their hands maybe but running to people and jumping on them is unacceptable. Same when he meets other dogs. He chased my friend's 3 year old Maltese around the house as soon as he saw him the first time without properly introducing himself (sniffing and stuff). The maltese was obviously bothered by his aggressive playing approach.
I heard that neutering him would help calming him down but he is a baby so I want to wait. Other than that, do you have any suggestion to how to train this boy proper greeting manner? |
