I don't mind jumping, it is very revarding to the dog to bump and jump. Ofcourse dog must know to down when it is told and stop jumping. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Yea, i am one of those people that always have mudd ollover their work clothes. But than again i like to roll with the dogs.
My dogs are all outside dogs (except for a mutt, he has privileges), and are in boxes, so when i am not working them or playing they are not jumping on me.
That would be a problem if i were living in house with all dogs. Or maybe not? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Things you don't mind when he is a pup often become unpleasent when it turns into a large powerful adult. Think about how you want your dog to behave when it is an adult and start shaping for those behaviors today.
Things you don't mind when he is a pup often become unpleasent when it turns into a large powerful adult. Think about how you want your dog to behave when it is an adult and start shaping for those behaviors today. Short and to the point. Great advice for any puppy owner. Wish I would have said that.
I have never allowed my dogs to jump up on people-but then again mine were never trained for Personal Protect, or any "sports". They were always trained for obedience. Not to mention the fact that my hubby was always concerned about an 85lb+ dog accidently clipping a nut as the dog jumped up on him. Something to think about. A small pup coming at you full speed and jumping on you can be enough, 85lbs to me would be like taking a freight train to the groin, but then again I don't have any so I could be wrong. IMO I don't see why discouraging this behavior would affect his training.

Oh, that hurts. At the kennel one of the track dogs was all geared to get to go turn out. She sprinted the length of the kennel building and caught one of the guys with her wire basket muzzle. She was prolly doing 25 when she hit him.

SO is it bad? I mean its obviopus I could correct him hard core and have him stop jumping. But all my dogs growing up and during college I didn't mind. Just as long as he's clean and I'd avoid it. Buty I didn't have the idea of personal; protectio training in mind.
I thought that by discouraging it might discourage the dog from wanting to jump to take a bite...

I don't discourage them jumping on other people till we're working on a helper pretty well.
I follow a simple rule, behavior/drive is easy to get rid of. . .it's hard to get back once discouraged. If you think your dog might be inhibited in a way that you don't want yet, don't discourage the behavior yet.
I don't allow them to jump up on kids, mine or others, or they get some damn serious feedback from me. Everyone else they meet or interact with are fair game, and they (the people) know it if they are people I'll let interact with my dog.
I discourage the dogs jumping up on me, unless I iniciate it. To discourage it I normally grab ahold of their legs and don't let go till well after they've decided that it sucks to be held that way.
