Dixie is a bit of a shocker for jumping up too. What I found worked was turning away from her and walking away as soon as she started to jump. Then asking her to sit. And once she was sitting she'd get a pat. Now when I get home she tries jumping up but then remembers that she's got to sit and sits her butt down straight away.
If you can - just walk away from him. That is giving him the clear message that you are not interested in his behaviour. But if he follows that up with a sit or other calm behaviour praise him. |
