chivs 0 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hi Guys Wonderd if any body could give me some advice! I have an 18 month dog called Murphy he 1s 1/2 working bearded collie 1/2 coarsing greyhound. He is an amaizing animal and has been a pleasure to train up he is doing most things he is great on recall he drops to command ,stays everything but will he as hell stop jumping up at people, I know the obvious give him a good crack on the mussle the problem ive got is he is a very one man one dog the bond we have is unreal he never leaves my side.I watched a guy last year at the CLA on the puggs and drummers stand a scottish lad i did not catch his name but he was unreal .Any way i adopted his approach with murphy it was very softly softly but clear no raised voices and no raised hands and it has paid off so i dont want to start all of a sudden start cracking him across the mussle and loose that trust and bond we have. So if any one could give me any advice on this matter i would appreciate it. Regards Chivs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TAXI DRIVER 549 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Get him to sit when people approach him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hurlock 114 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Turn your back on him as he jumps up, or lift knee to stop him planting his feet mate. He'll soon get tired of it. Hurlock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kill um with crisps 7 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) When he jumps up say "NO" in a firm voice and push him back down, take hold of his front feet and place them back on the ground. Let him know he wont get a fuss made of himself up there, only when hese on the ground. The "wait" hand signal can also be used. As he approaches put the your hand out, palm towards him. This can mean "sit", "stop", "stay" etc. He should drop on the spot. Allow him to calm down 1st then call him in. Edited March 4, 2010 by krd pest control Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hurlock Good call mate, used the exact same method myself. Took a little time but you could see the pup thinking before trying to jump up after only a couple of times, soon stopped trying altogether.

Annmarie09 5 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Good advice about standing on the toes. If he gets wise to that then just turn your back when he jumps up and ignore him til all four feet are on the ground, then praise him. I find this works well if you have kids because you don't want them standing on his toes and being too hard! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 In my opinion turning your back on a dogs one of the better ways of training them.My male got it very quickly.I still let my bitch jump on me but only me.If you keep turning your back he will soon realise he loses out on your attention Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they do it unexpectedly it can be quite unbalancing, my lurcher is as tall as me on her back legs (not that that's difficult!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cold Ethyl 63 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Lol my bitch is quite small but still hits at a fair weight and speed.Having said what i did shes very ignorant towards strangers anyway unless she knows someone well she generally ignores them.Used to find it embarrassing but quite happy with her like that now.Shes stuck to my side like a limpet and wont go with anyone.Shes a bit of a pain for that but its a good thing really.She will run across the park and throw herself at me lol so you have to be prepared or its a sore landing.She did once get me from the back and knocked me a foot high lol.This is why other dogs dont play with her for long cos she hits them like a rocket and they end up sqeualing shes playing but she doesnt realise whats shes doing to the other dog lol.My male gets out of her way shrapish and my friends dog too cos if they like their rib cage in tact.
