Don't allow it. If he is supposed to stand quietly, make sure he knows you're displeased and if he starts again....repeat your signal of displeasure. I usually just have to make my unhappy noise (a grunt basically) and Gusti gets the picture. However, I just recently realized that Gusti's antsy behaviour gradually just went away. I never give in to mugging anymore and I guess bugging me just got old to him. He loves the words 'good boy' almost as much as that click though.... Dagur is being started with clicker training inserted here and there just to make a point with some issue. For one thing it's putting a good stop on him.. Wanda
