Our Pinker ACDx spends most of his days outside on the porch or in the garage when
I am not "using him". He's been really great about not jumping on the screen door or garage door demanding to come in. Unlike my IG who tries to tear the door down.
Last week I taught him how to "shut the door" by jumping on it, in preparation for
teaching him to open and close gates.
Now he's jumping on the garage door and front door when he's out and I'm in. Took the broom to him last nite,yelling "out" (generalized command for quit). He stopped for awhile but has resumed this AM intermittently. Trouble is, eventually I'll be opening that door, so he will get rewarded at some point for jumping by my coming out.
ideas?

I'm not touching this problem with a ten foot broom. Someone else can have that pleasure.

My question is, why are we in the 'grieving a lost pet' forum?

My question is what does "took the broom to him last nite" mean?

You've taught him how to do something withouth teaching him the opposite command to not jump up on the door.

How did you teach him to jump up? Have you used or do you currently use marker training?

Teach him what is expected and THEN you can expect it.

GEEZZZEEEE! Back to the drawing board.

GO out a different door (I assume for fire safety laws you have more tham one exit) & address the door jumping with an taught 'off' command. Then re-teach whatever command you taught to activate that (jumping on the door) behavior with a new command name. Use the broom for sweeping the floors. Good luck.

I went outside holding the broom, and said "out" which means "stop that and go away from here". About 3 mos ago he was trying to herd a confined cow after I had given the "out" command, which he knew, and I became scared of the cow and threw a plastic manure fork near him, it did not hit him.He was blowing me off and it was dangerous. He was going to drive the cow over the top of me, I had to make a strong reaction. The clattering fork scared him, it was not ideal training for sure, but
he got the message that I can back it up from a distance if I have in my hand a sorting stick or a manure fork or anything long. I do not abuse this, try hard not to scare him. He's 8 mos old, he's moving 1500 lb cows and calves twice a day, he thinks he's pretty much a monster. We do marker training every day, taught him to hit the door by touching the door with my hand, saying "yes" when he jumped on it. I apologise for posting on the wrong thread and am grateful for suggestions.
Training him to shut the door was just an exercise for a rainy day, he needs to be learning something new all the time.

I would definitely train him to be attentive to your voice and not what you are holding in your hand.

What will happen if one day you don't have anything long to rely on?

Marker training is a powerful tool, and if he is as quick as your post indicates, he should pick up the "out" very quickly. If it is a proofing matter, then start proofing.

If working him on a long line is not an option I would opt for the ecollar. You can use it from a distance and you do not have to rely on brooms/pitch forks

One of these days, he is going to jump when he should have scooted and end up on the receiving end of the pitch fork being thrown.

you are right an ecollar would be much better.
I've thrown stuff twice - once a sorting stick, once a plastic fork.
I have thrown gravel at him (for being in front of the tractor) but he didn't see me throw - thought it came from the machine which was the goal. A dragline doesn't work, cows could pin him. try hard to train him to respond to voice and hand --
I was avoiding the ecollar as we have lots of e-fence and he's so afraid of it.
This afternoon he is sleeping in the garage on a rug without jumping on the door, a good sign.

I would keep up the marker training and use the ecollar for the distance work and for the "farm work" where a mistake can mean an injured or dead dog.

Maybe someone with more experience with ecollars can chime in. Betty have you read the info on this site or watched the ecollar video?
