That is a hard one- It is like spanking the neighbors kid. I suggest that the next time the dog comes toward and starts to jump, take one or two steps forward and lift your knee. The dog's judgment of distance is now off and he is going to get a swift knee to his chest. He will most likely stop. If he doesn't, keep doing it, even calling him to you with anticipation of him jumping just so you can do this. He will stop!
It is important to give the dog praise when he doesn't jump and to give him a treat. Don't go overboard with with your voice because that will get him all excited again and he will most likely jump again. After a few months give his owner a bill for training her dog! hehehe -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christa Karet Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 7:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [labradoodles] Need Advice Please I am pleading to the group. Almost every morning, Shaggy and I go play with three black labs, two that are staying with a woman and are being trained as guide dogs. One of the dogs failed and she is now keeping her. That dog (who failed) is a little older than Shaggy, a little over a year. The other guide dog is around 8 months or so. There is also another lady with a black lab that brings her dog as well. Here is the problem: Every time I go with Shaggy. One, two, three black labs all jump on me and their owners over and over, to the point I come home and I have muddy paw prints all over my clothes. Shaggy does not ever jump on them. At the end of last week, as I bent down to put Shaggy's leash on, the third black lab jumped up and hit my face directly underneath my eye, causing a cut and a small black eye not to mention my eye was completely bloodshot. I had to get home right away but I was SO angry. I know the lady felt horrible, she kept apologizing over and over again and I said, "It's okay, I'll be fine, it was an accident." In my mind I was thinking, "Get control of your dog!". So, I saw them for the first time this morning and of course she felt horrible but the only thing I said was it's okay, it was an accident. I did tell her that when I trained Shaggy not to jump that I grabbed him by the scruff on the neck and said NO JUMPING and NO! DOWN! and then put him on the ground so he was submissive to me. I told her that everybody trains different, but that's what worked for him. She seemed slightly offended and didn't say anything other than "she just wanted to say hi to you I think she never does that." (Huh?) With them, they only say, "No, off! Good off!" After they get down. I am at the point where I want Shag to get exercise, he loves playing with them but I come home beat up (and last week with a black eye) and muddy. Is there any other way to politely tell them (other than what I said)? Today when I went all three of the jumped on me again. I feel like I can't discipline their dogs. Thanks!
