How train puppy not to jump up?
I have a 3 mos old puppy have trained to sit, stay, come, go to kennel etc, but do you have any ideas on how to train him not to jump up on people besides telling me to buy a dog training book?
I am looking for specific ideas that worked for you.

UUURRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!
This question is asked so many times, and I am SO SICK of people recommending leash corrections, kneeing the dog in the chest, and hitting. Besides being unneccesary and ineffective, have any of you ever tried to knee a 3 month old pup in the chest? Unless you are about three feet tall, ain’t gonna happen!
Now that I have vented…this is soooooo simple. No one pets the dog unless he is sitting (or at least standing) first. If he jumps, turn around and walk away. If he sits and then you reach to pet him and he starts to jump again, turn and walk away. He wants attention…he will learn very quickly what he needs to do to get attention from people. The hardest part is not going to be training your pup, it’s going to be getting other people to comply. Make them! If necessary, ask them to have the pup sit so they can give him a treat and then pet him. They will be more amenable if they believe they are helping you train him to sit.

How do you stop a puppy from barking?
Our black lab/golden retriever puppy is about 16 weeks old. We bought a dog training book that says to hold a treat up to his nose because they can’t bark and sniff at the same time when he is barking. But that is not working because he might think he is being praised. What do you suggest we do?
admin answers:
NEVER EVER BEAT THE DOG, OR HIT IT when it barks or else it will turn aggressive. I know alot about dogs, and usually you ignore the dog or look at them straight in the eyes and say no in a stern voice and then ignore them but don’t put them in a time-out, because their cage is eathier their home, or when they crap in the house. Just ignore the dog because all they want is attention and that’s why they’re barking or because they’re trying to protect their property! GOOD LUCK!

I’ve tried various dog training books which are ok but through experience the best method is to go to puppy traing classes where the pups can socialise with other dogs. You also learn and it is like a good workout when you take part. You also meet friends with similar interests
