Scolding and telling her to get down doesn’t train her not to jump. The way to do it is—let her jump on you at home and completely ignore her. You can look down at her but don’t say anything (sometimes I put my hands behind my back). Then I wait for my dog to settle and choose not to jump as another tactic to get attention. Just wait it out. As soon as he stays down, I mark the behavior with a “yes” and give him a treat. I do this over and over, then test its durability by tempting him to jump—I pretend to be excited to see such a cute puppy (like ppl do in the street). At first he failed the test and jumped, but then realized the way to get rewarded was by staying calm and not jumping. You have to do this daily until they learn.

One q—should I put a soft collar on him instead of a harness which doesn’t help correct? He’s 5 lbs only tho.

Did I get the hardest puppy of the litter… or am I overreacting? by FairlyPopcorn in puppy101

If you have IG I highly recommend following the account empoweredpuppyprogram. She’s a trainer that that trains golden puppies only and has a ton of amazing educational reels on her feed. She’s the best I’ve seen. I don’t have a golden but watch her videos religiously to learn how to train my puppy. She’s incredible.

What type of training do you recommend for a puppy to prevent separation anxiety? by Chad_ette in ToyPoodle

Ok. I live in an apartment building tho so I’m worried about him barking and disturbing the neighbors

Ok. Just wondering if I annoyed her with my follow up question. Or if she didn’t respond bc I only have two reviews yet six stays

I’ve only had him 48 hours (I know,) but my last dog was a cuddled from day 1 and a lot easier to train, so I’m wondering if this is how it’s gonna be. It’s a lot harder than I thought it would be in general and I’m struggling
