Our three and eleven year old love our puppy, but he keeps jumping on them, and nibbling their fingers/whatever he can find. He never hurts the kids, but the three year old screams at him, which not only wakes people up (ME!) but does not help at all.
He's only nine weeks old, but their has to be something I can do? He's a border collie/collie mix.

Ok, let me preface this by saying it sounds mean, but for an animal it is effective. When the dog jumps up, you raise your knee into the dogs chest.
Please don't stop reading there. Do not knee the dog in the chest with all your force, thats just dumb, but enough to make it uncomfortable.
The quickest way to solve your problem is to teach the dog that although you love him, he is not your or your kids equal. He is a pet, the sooner the dog understands that the sooner you'll have a happy, loving, playful, but not too rough puppy dog.

I have the exact same dog. What we did is when the dog would jump up we would gently push her down and say no. It will take some time and will eventually stop. These dogs are very energetic dogs and love to run and play. As for the nibbling that is the puppy stage.

when a dog jumps on a kid hes happy to see them and wants to play. we have a border colie mix with a beagle and he just loves to play. dont be mad at him for doing that just try telling him it will come to a point where the dog will learn not to jump if yoou give him a a little tap om the nose not a big one. or when he jumps on the kids tell him no bad dog go to bed.
hope it works

Tell the kids to turn their backs on the dog when he trys to jump...dont allow them to pet the dog unless the dog is sitting...the dog will catch on quick

a three year old & a nine week old puppy sorry but your house is going to be wild for a while all you can do is teach your eleven year old to say the word down while he raises on knee to stop the jumping tell him to say it calm or you desensitize the pup and you will have to always raise you voice to get him to listen.don't worry you picked a smart breed he will learn and be a good dog just takes alot of patience when there pups, stick it out he will be worth it.

The breed doesn't matter here. In this case you need to teach your little ones what to do. when puppy jumps up,tell them to put there knee up and then turn around and walk away, and screaming just excites the dog. so dog goes to jump,bump him with your knee, walk the other way. puppy soon clues in when he jumps, he gets knocked back,then you walk away from him and dont give him affection. he learns that jumping on you means you go away which he doesn't like.you could also bump him with your knee and make him sit, but since hes so young, i think you need to let it sink in that this behavior is unacceptable. good luck!:)

OK, we have had this problem and it has been corrected... there are several reasons why she does it, and several ways to stop it.... first.... you have to make sure the kids do not get the dog overly excited to play. the "Come her puppy, puppy,aaahhhh"" screaming that kids do will make him think its jump and play time......get the kids to stop this behavior.... when the kids do it make the kids stand still and not acknowledge the pup till he stops.. all while YOU are telling pup "NO JUMP""" you will be doing this for the next few months...............the next... is play-biting... he is a pup and this is what pups do.... you have to set the rules.......when he goes to chew say"NO BITE" NO SKIN"" and give him a substitute chew, bone or toy.... then praise when he takes the substitute......... again, you will be doing this for a few months......... not just the pup, you have to teach the kids to do EXACTLY the same things. or the pup will never get it.....

I agree with CJ. I saw it on Oprah and tried it with our puppy and it worked right away. I dont agree with kneeing your dog in the chest, and is hurting the dog something you want to teach a 3 year old??
