Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn't going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don't be one of them.

Answer 3

First off, I would suggest those who come over to kneel down and allow your dog to smell their hands and see their faces. Many are too small to see guests face-to-face, so they jump up. Many guests don't have tolerance for this.

When you do kneel down, get your dog to a sit, and reward the good behaviour.

Encouarge your dog to always sit before a guest enters the house. Try this before guests come consistently, because chances are the first few times it will not work. It's about reinforcement. Tell your dog to sit, leave the house, and come back in. If your dog is sitting when you open the door, reward him/her with a treat.

I have heard some trainers who dealt with dogs continuing to jump that you fold your arms across your chest and turn away from your dog. Completely ignore your dog.

Always be sure to reward good behaviour. People often seem to only give attention to a dog when it's behaviour is poor, punishing the poor behaviour and never applauding the good. This can so often confuse the dog on what is acceptable and what is "bad".. But patience is a good thing when training this kind of thing.

Answer 4

You don't mention the age or how long this has been happening for but I suspect that you have tried every trick you can think of. I once had a retriever who was also a persistant jumper. We never ever encouraged it and tried all kinds of NO! pushing him away methods - but he still sent visitors flying!
The thing that eventually worked when he was about 2 years old was to grasp his paws with both hands when he jumped up and hold him there saying hello in a warm voice or however you usually greet him. We would hold him like that until he got really tired and was pulling to get back to the ground! Eventually he didn't want to jump up because he knew it would be a pretty exhausting ritual. I had to protect visitors until I knew he was realiable though.
Give it a go and I hope it works!

Answer 5

There is a really great dog trainer that I've seen on TV called the Dog Whisperer and his shows come on the Discovery channel, I believe. His name is Ceaser Milan (sp?) He says to stand between the person and the dog, raise your hand in front of the dogs face (like a stop sign) to the dog and give a firm "no" or "stop". Move away from the dog and do it again when the dog jumps up. He shows that giving commands 3 times usually works. I would practice with someone that will help and have them knock on the door and come in, and you do the training. This really does work. This mans dog training principles are phenomenal.

Answer 6

It is always best just to ignore the bad behaviour and offer a treat when they stop doing it.

I know its hard but if the dog jumps up, just try to carry on walking without saying anything to them. Dogs do things for attention and even a NO or GET DOWN means they are getting some.

If this does not work and it can take a long time, then noise aversion therapy can work, e.g. put some stones in a plastic bottle and every time they do it shake it vigourously, this may sound cruel to give them a fright but I have seen it work on tv documentaries.

Answer 7

Hitting a dog is a big NO. Dont punish your dog by slapping or hitting. Just make a loud noise by hitting your hand on a rolled up newspaper to startle the dog and say NO firm but loving. If they start getting use to that you can always get a spray bottle and fill it with a touch of vinigar and a lot of water. spray the dog in the eyes when it jumps up and says no. Dont dont usually like water in the face but the vinigar mixed in gives a slight burn but it wont harm the dog if you mix only about a tea spoon into a large bottle. That is how we train our seld team.

Answer 8

My german shepherd used to do it all the time,we got a dog trainer in,and we trianed him by filling a bleach bottle up with stones,and evertime he did anything wrong or jumped up,you hide the bottle and shake it onces,this makes the dog get a wee fright and he will stop doing it after a few times of hearing the bottle.

Answer 9

Electronic Training Collars. They work great. Also the Electric Fence is another great product. Don't let the liberal pet owners tell you differently on it being cruel and all. It Works. My dog never jumps up anymore. He has not worn the collar in years.

Answer 10

Ignore bad behaviour reward good. Even if it is a slap and a "NO!!" the dog sees this as reward as it gets attention. Ignore the jumping on you and all the family. He should stop. It may be a bit more difficult on strangers, though.

Answer 11

when you have company around, keep him on a leash, when he tries to jump, pull him back , and firmly point at him and tell him NO JUMPING. and then thats it. dont give it any more attention. repeat , and then when he doesnt jump on anybody, reward him with him with a toy, or a treat[not from the table, or you'll get a beggar [sp?]] take him to public places so he gets used to seeing people and doesnt get so exited when one comes over. it will give him less of an urge to jump . whenever somebody greets him, and he doesnt jump on him reward him. then you could try to teach him to "shake" instead. so when he meets someone, he will sit, and shake, instead of jumping. hope i helped!


I THINK WE SHOULD PUT A SHOCK COLLAR ON HARRY MERKIN!!! THEN SEE HOW CRUEL HE THINKS IT IS
