Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Does she know the command 'off' or 'leave it'? I use that with my puppy and it never fails to snap him out of that excited jumping/nipping behavior and put him at attention, waiting for a treat. It was relatively easy to teach. It took about 2 days. I just held the treat in my hand and of course, he started nipping and licking my hand, then I said 'off' and waited until he stopped trying to get it. Then, 'good boy' and treat. He gets very nippy when excited, sometimes he tries to get my calves when we're walking, and 'off' works well for that. I also use it when he tries to eat something he's not supposed to or is fixated on another dog when we are walking. My parents are visiting and he tries to nip and bite them as well, and so I leave little coasters of treats around the apartment and if he gets nippy with them I tell them to give him the command and treat if he listens. He has been listening well to them. It was a huge relief to teach him that!
Edit - I also use time outs. Sometimes he gets in that Tasmanian devil state. I'll take him out to make sure he doesn't need to potty, because sometimes he gets that way when he has to go. And if he doesn't them we come right back inside and he goes into his little area to calm down. If that doesn't work then, I put him in his crate, because it means he needs a nap. It's like his last ditch effort to stay awake and play. He's a young puppy though, so i'm sure that will change as he gets older. I'm not using the crate as punishment, I'm using it as a place to calm his mind down. It really works too. Sometimes only 5 minutes there with an antler or bully stick and he comes out much more relaxed and happy. |

| If you can try to catch him right before he for starts to jump and correct him. There's a way to do it without even touching him by just asserting yourself and claiming the space. It is so much easier to snap them out of it in the "I'm gonna......." part right before the "now I'm ............" part. It should become pretty predictible when he'll jump and what the body language cues are if you pay attention.
Good luck, I know this is a tough one to break once it starts. |
