My lurcher puppy is approx 6 months old, not sure exactly as she was a rescue puppy, and we are having a huge problem with her jumping up at people.
when we are out with her she gets so excited meeting new people that she runs and jumps at me, mostly hitting me in the chest, occasionally she will go to jump at strangers but we are usually on the ball and manage to catch her in time!
she manages to jump vertically from standing a good 3 feet plus off the ground!
A friend told me the best way to deal with this is to push her down, firmly say no and to turn our back on her, not sure if this is helping though, we also make sure we don't make a fuss of her if she is jumping up.
Just wondered if any of you experinced dog owners would have any bright ideas?
TIA
