dog jumping up

I'm sorry if this topic has been done to death but could anyone advise me on what to do with my goldie who is 7 months and keeps jumping up at strangers in the woods. I KNOW I should have sorted this by now Blush but I guess its the age old scenario - what is cute in a 10 week pup is not cute in a 23 kg adolescent who has just jumped out of the lake and is covered in mud!

So, I've accepted that this is my problem and not my dog's, everyone in the house is now following the same rule of fold arms and turn away and give no attention until she is sitting down, and I've asked the kids to let their friends know that this is what they must do rather than make a fuss of her but what about when she is out and off the lead? TBH, this is when the main problem occurs as she is so excited to meet everyone. She seems to forget all her training and refuses to come back until she has 'greeted' the stranger.

If I notice anyone before she does, I distract her or call her back to me and put her on the lead until trouble has past but this won't solve the problem. Is is something she will outgrow as she matures? Can I use clicker and treat to stop her jumping and if so how? In all other respects, she is adorable.

Thanks for any help

I sympathise.

Blondie doesn't believe me when I tell her my dd begs for a hot dog, but tis true Wink

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/09/2010 13:27

no child would EVER beg for a hot dog with mrm in it

Bella32 · 28/09/2010 18:56

You're absolutely right, Blondie.

That's why Bella uses good quality hot dogs!

Anyhow - what do you think goes into your beloved chicken kebabs? Free range organic breast meat?

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/09/2010 21:25

This thread does not show under the 'Pets' topic for me.

Or Threads I'm On.

Only if I am a sad enough git to go and search for it.

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/09/2010 21:46

It does for me on both iPhone and lappy

so either you have a broken lappy etc or you have accidently hidden this thread

Bella32 · 28/09/2010 21:52

Doesn't show on any of my devices.

How does one 'unhide', oh wise one?

Bella32 · 28/09/2010 21:55

Fixed it now. Was extremely complicated. Couldn't even begin to explain the technicalities of what I have just done.

Get back to your kebab, Blondie Grin

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/09/2010 21:55

Never needed to hide a thread but maybe click on hide or customise

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/09/2010 21:58

Yeah yeah

you just clicked a button Grin

ps there is no such thing as a good quality hot dog

Bella32 · 28/09/2010 22:00

Shut yer mouth.

Even better, put one of these in it Grin

Bella32 · 28/09/2010 22:01

In case you've had too many babychams to make sense of it, here's what it says:

? Premium, imported frankfurters from Germany with 86% pork content
? Taste highly rated by consumers**
? NO mechanically recovered meat, NO added MSG & gluten free
? Authentic beech wood smoked for extra flavour and a better taste
? Great texture & won?t split when heated

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/09/2010 22:07

bollocks is what i say to that

and tbh there are prob bollocks in the 86% pork - rofl Grin

i would love to debate but off to bed, been a long day, but will chat tom

night sweetie xx

Bella32 · 28/09/2010 22:11

Night, hon.
