 use what works for you!
My friend who is into training tried to tell me the same thing "ignore them". Also that the dog has to "earn" his way in...that you don't let them in the house until they earn it. She had problems correcting a lot of behaviors using this way of thinking.
I didn't listen to anything she said. If I say "sit" Sparks will sit with company..or "easy". He is the most hyper dog there is and WILL jump on people but I can also stop him if I want him to. I have used clicker training and he listens really well...he is still only a puppy so we aren't perfect or anything. Ha!
I LOVE it when My dog comes and jumps on me and greets me when I come home. I come running in too! It's like going up and hugging and kissing someone who has been gone. I could NEVER ignore him like Cesear suggested.
Use what works for you. Dont go with things that you dont' believe. No one is an expert because no one has been a dog...well...in their current lifetime anyways. Ha!
