5 months old?

Question

i have a rottweiler cross staffordshire bull terrier his 5 months and when ppl come over he jumps on ppl how can i get him to stop

Answer 1

What is a PPL???

Does that man 'people'? (I'm serious)

Here is what you do:

Using treats is silly because one day you will start to forget the treats or not have them or something, and the next time you call her, she'll remember not getting the treat and figure "why bother?"

Clickers are just flat stupid - they are for people who are too dumb to figure out how to quickly say "GOOD DOG" in a happy, excited voice.

I'm not going to carry some silly water bottle around. That is for the lazy and the inept and it only works so long as you have the bottle.

Making a jar of things to rattle at the dog is a good game but it doesn't tell them NO

You always have your hands and your voice. Use them



Stop jumping by any of these methods:

(1) A loud “No” and push her off and hold her down and scold her with “Bad, Bad Bad”. Then tell her “Okay,” let her up and give her a pat (if she doesn’t leap again.)

(2) A loud “No” and time it so that as she comes off the ground, you bring your foot forward and step on her back foot.

(3) A loud “No” and as she comes up off the ground, raise your knee so that she hits I with her chest and bounces off.

Ge thee and him to obedience class. You need some control NOW.

Answer 2

first of all, NO body contact with the dog (Kneeing, stomping on toes, etc) this IS painful. would you like it if someone did it to you? also, the obedience classes are where you need to start.
if you step on toes, you can break them and them you not only have an untrusting dog, but a vet bill. stupid idea. shock collars are only used in the most aggressive of cases; don't do unless you have a trainer assisting you. last, try this: put a choker collar (either metal, chain, or prong-your choice) on with a 4 ft. leash. when he approaches you to jump, take the leash, FIRMLY and in a low growly-voice say OFF. put him in a down position.
then when he does that gently say good boy. if you touch a dog when it is doing a bad behavior, you are only reinforcing that behavior to be stronger. his excitability level is allready high, so touching increases that. don't over-do the praise though. he'll just get excited again. practice,practice,practice. same thing with the barking. give him a leash correction and tell him NO BARK in that special voice. if you gain control as the alpha dog, he will respect what you say, but dogs are always trying to get the uperhand so you have to be top dog 24/7. if he is outside barking all the time, he is bored too. take him for a long hard walk with you in control and when he is worn out he can listen better. it's like having a 2 yr old human running loose through your house that has never been disciplined.

Answer 3

Completely ignore him for until he is calm when you come home -- if he jumps up on you, walk away, no words, no touching, nothing. Instruct all others who come into your home to do the EXACT same thing. AmStaffs are strong, powerful dogs w/ stubborn personalities -- just like a small child throwing a tantrum, sometimes negative attention is better than no attention! He's likely to think you're playing a game if you yell at him or push him off (even a knee to the chest is not likely to deter him). Stay calm and ignore him completely until he is calm -- do NOT throw him a party when you come home, if it is okay to jump on you, then it will always be okay for him to jump on everyone -- BE a STRONG PACK LEADER without violence -- BE CONSISTENT. Good luck!!

Answer 4

Pretty well a waist of time trying to teach the dog not to jump up, you will have a much greater chance of success teaching the dog to sit, or lay down, or get in bed, or,,,,,,
the point is teach the dog something positive instead of trying to teach the dog something negative, which they really don't understand all that well.

Think about it,,,,,, Just what was it that "NO" told the dog to do.
If you are going to tell the dog not to jump up, it is necessary to tell the dog what to do as an alternative to jumping up.

Answer 5

One way that I have done with my dogs is, that when he jumps lift your leg up and have him hit your knee, dogs don't like that, it works but it takes awhile. Also you can try, when he tries to jump up use your hands to push him to the side and tell him no.....You need to have patience and it will take time. Good Luck.
