training tips

Rob did say not hard. Your knee is always available but I don't have a water pistol 24/7. It aslo depends on the dogs temperament

I think stepping on a lurchers toes is a definate no, no matter how carefull you are trying to be. What happens if you get the pressure wrong, and i think it would be near on impossible to be able to do it carefully just as its about to jump up. A quick way to ruin its career, knocked up toes.

I realise Rob did not say hard..neither did i, a knee being always available is a bit of a lame excuse to my thinking. I would think it depends on the weight of the dog and the speed at which it jumps at you..to assertain how much damage can be done...a light knee and a fast forcefull jumping dog can spell disaster, seen it happen a few times. My post was directed at the folk who might not be so well versed in training a dog and could easilly end up with a dead mutt on thier living room floor.

you lot dont half make me laff at times water gun :11: thats a killer right now that iv picked my self up off the floor, i will tell you how to stop a dog jumping up ..right then encourage the dog to jump up to your chest ,then at the same time hit the dog in the chest with your knee ,not to hard just enough for the dog to be knocked away or fall away ..dont let the dog see how your doing it ..it will lose confidence after a few times ..you must have seen it before ..dog jumps in to back of motor but falls out trys again but does the same ,it will not try again ..you will have to pick the dog up ..same goes for the knee in the chest ,just repeat it if it does again ...

Thats easy Moll, there's too many keyboard experts about again, listening to shite and not experience.

the reason I sugested the shake bottle is because I know it works from using it myself, yet there's still people knocking what they obviously know little about.

 

you lot keep kneeing your dogs in the chest, I've had enough trying with some people, wasters!

Id like to you to explain on here not in PM I would hate for some youngster to try it, get it horribly wrong, then end up with a lame and confused dog. If you explain properly how its done hopefully that wont happen.

There are many different methods and what works for you may not work for someone else, if a shake bottle works for you then thats all thats needed, I know a couple of mine would totally ignore the shake bottle. You say people knocking what they know little about but why are you the "expert"? I've been training dogs for various things for years but i'm always learning As for us being wasters, the good thing about this forum is that its about different opinions :11:

Just wanted to say, my dog used to jump up all the time, I was told to completely ignore her when she did this and encouraged visitors to do the same; after about two weeks this behaviour completely stopped and she never did it again. Ive also been using the shake the bottle with my new pup when she jumps up at the sofa and she is already learning not to do that. I'm by no means an expert in training dogs but these two methods seemed to work for me.
