[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a puppy that does this and I yank her away from people when she jumps without engaging the person because it just makes her jump more. I'm sorry. My dog is extremely cuddly looking and people sometimes just reach right down and scoop her up into their arms. It's really annoying as it completely breaks her training about not jumping on people. It also makes me look like a mean jerk when I yank her and just say no and turn away. It's a training method, sheeple.[/quote]

Can't you use a shorter leash so it isn't able to jump on people in the first place? I'm asking because if this is happening, yanking away after the fact doesn't help the people who've already been imposed upon. Firmer control is your responsibility so your animal doesn't bother other people. I'm not talking about deliberate touchers, but about people just trying to get past you on the sidewalk.[/quote]

We had trouble with our dog on this issue and he ALWAYS wanted to meet people but not everyone was so happy to meet him.  So we were told to pull him to the side on the grass to the side of the sidewalk and say "sit and greet" so that he wasnt permitted to meet anyone unless he was seated.  It also left it to the people as to whether or not they wanted to say hello.  He eventually got it.  If he wouldnt sit at all, we simply turned in the opposite direction of the person he was so keen on meeting and walked that way for a block.  He still sits to the side and just wags when he sees someone he wants to say hello to even when he knows them now on walks.  I think it took about a month for him to be reliable but it was well worth it.  [/quote]
