Joey won't stop jumping! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

bensonmomof4 · 12-11-2006, 06:38 AM

I really need some advice! Joey is 1 1/2 yrs and is neutered. He gets so excited when people come to the house, Joey is friendly but he jumps all over people. I run a daycare in my home so there are people coming and going alot. Joey doesn't jump on the kids thank goodness. Most of the time one of us grabs Joey and puts him outside or in a bedroom until the parents leave. I have tried leaving him on his leash so that I can grab that when someone comes, but that is a pain. He hates the newspaper and will stay down when I have that in my hands but you can imagine that is a hassle at times! I really need some help!

I can't really help you with this one.. Howie's in training classes right now for some of his behavior issues. Hopefully someone else has some advice!

Thanks! Any help would be great! Jumping is Joey's olny bad habit, I guess it could be worse!

i've heard that a spray bottle with vinegar and water works. i never tried. i just tell tucker to get down and that usually works.

i know this is off topic, but one of the pictures in your avatar looks just like my tucker does now! he's got a white head, but he's mostly gray. it was like you took a picture of him!

I've heard of a spray bottle with water, but not vinegar, I would think that would sting their little eyes and nose??

I guess that's the purpose of it. I was told to use a small fly swatter and tap them lightly if they act up. This time everytime they see the swatter, it's like a newspaper they steer clear of it. My dog doesn't jump on people, he's friendly to pet, but not a jumper.
