Hi, I was wondering if it is too much to ask a two year old male boxer neutered,to greet people without acting all hyper and wanting to get to them very impatiently.He will do this with certain people in our home and also with certain people on walks. I was thinking maybe it happens with people that don't want to see him, but I think it happens with people that like him also. I was wondering if I will ever be able to take that behavior out of him. He was socialized with people etc. I think maybe a little too much, I didn't get Ed's videos until he was older 1.5 or so. Anyway just wondering an experienced opinion.
Thanks
Hi Thanks. Does the same principle apply for the greetings out on walks,etc. that he got rewarded for his hyper behavior? Would giving him a correction the moment his attention gets fixated on the people coming towards us be of any use? Or making him sit? I would like to do it with using as little correction as I can.
Yep, ignore his antics & actually turn your back on him when he's jumping all around -- Don't speak to him or even look at him until he settles down...
Boxers are a typically rambuncious breed, in general, so give it time & be VERY consistant! -- Tell people he meets to do exactly the same thing & he WILL improve even without high-level corrections...
But yes, get busy on basic obedience with this dog, particularly sit, down & stay -- Around guests or people on the street, just hold his collar with your hand (no yank & crank necessary for that) and prevent him from jumping up or pawing them, then praise quietly & treat calmly whenver he's good <:-)
Hi, His obedience is good but I havn't trained him in the distraction phase yet. He will listen. It is mostly the first one to two minutes of meeting someone that he acts up after that he settles down. But I find that rather annoying out on a walk,like said it only happens with some people.
When he greets visitors to your home or meets people on the street, have his leash run UNDER your foot & stand on it so he CAN'T jump up -- That's just a shortcut until he'll obey you & leave folks alone <:-)

Oh, Candi, you TOLD! <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> That has been one of my favorite shortcuts with new dogs learning manners ever since I read it on this very forum, many moons ago.
In fact, I gave that exact advice to Noah (my grown son with the new Dobie rescue) just this morning -- He called & said, "Mom, I ignored Duke & turned my back on him when he was jumping up, BUT, he practically leapt onto my shoulders from behind & nearly knocked me over!", so I told him how to USE that trusty leash I bought the dog, ha-ha...
Sheesh, you can send these kids through university, but WHAT do they learn ??? <;-O
