My daughter is apart of the problem? Please explain how you come the conclusion of this? I have tried leaving the leash on, still do it. My dog listens to me when I tell her to sit, after several times, and before she was doing really well about not jumping but the last few weeks, she has started jumping again. I'll just keep on working...Thanks for all the answers.

Keep her on a leash at all times at first. When she jumps on the baby, jerk the leash and say "NO" very firmly. The dog is trying to establish the baby's place in the pack as submissive to her, it's your job as "alpha" to tell the dog that she is submissive to the baby. Don't get sentimental and offer treats, this is family dynamics not trick training. The dog has to learn to respect your daughter. Be very firm and consistent. Also consider obedience training, it will teach you how to teach your dog and offer quality time with your dog.

Try sounding an air horn or other loud, unpleasent noise everytime it happens. This will frighten her a little and she will associate "jumping up on people = bad noise".
It is important than you and any visitors IGNORE the dog and turn away when it jumps up on them, because any attention you/they give it will reinforce the bad behaviour. Even pushing the dog down is taken as 'attention' and may encourage the dog to repeat the jumping. Eventually the dog will realize 'jumping on humans gets me ignored' and stop doing it.

PLEASE DO NOT HIT YOUR DOG WITH A NEWSPAPER, IT COULD HAVE A REVERSE EFFECT ON YOUR DOG AND YOUR DOG COULD BECOME MORE AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS YOUR CHILD. YOUR DOG IS MOST LIKELY WANTING TO PLAY AND HES A BIT TOO ROUGH, YES HE NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT, AND BY YOU THE OWNER, NOW NO MATTER HOW YOUNG YOUR CHILD IS, YOU NEED TO INCLUDE HER IN THESE TRAINING SESSIONS, AFTER ALL YOUR CHILD IS THE REASON YOUR DOG HAS THIS PROBLEM, ALSO IF THERE IS ANY JEALOUSY THERE, THIS WOULD HELP TOO, YOUR THE ONE DOING THE TRAINING BUT WHEN YOUR DOG DOES GOOD AND YOU GIVE DOG A TREAT, YOU CAN HOLD YOUR CHILDS HAND AND THE BOTH OF YOU CAN TREAT HIM, THERE ARE PLENTY OF BOOKS, AND USUALLY THERE IS SOME KIND OF FREE TRAING SESSIONS AT YOUR PARKS OR COMMUNITY CENTERS, GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS. AND REMEMBER YOUR DOG IS A PART OF YOUR FAMILY AND WILL ALWAYS BE DEVOTED TO ALL OF YOU.SPELL DOG BACKWARDS !

Are you going to sit around and wait for the dog to kill your daughter? The dog should not be in the room with the daughter if she is doing this. They should be kept seperated or you should find a new home for the dog. Is your daughter's life not important?

Take it to training but you need to be firm and keep pushing her butt down telling her to sit. I had a pit/ rot mix and she insisted on jumping eventually she had to go to training but they told me to keep pushing her down and tell her no jumping, sit eventually with enough consistancy she stopped jumping. Its a waiting game and it is very very time consuming but it does work in the end

The trainer we use sez when they jump up to squeeze their front paws. I guess they don't like that much. Tell them "Get Down". If you do this consistently it is supposed to break them of jumping up.

say "down" and hit him with a newspaper rolled up. They don't like that. Keep on him.
