Jumping

Hi Everyone! I just found out that I have family visiting next week and I'm concerned about my Husky's problem behavior of jumping on people, especially new people. She gets so happy to see them that she forgets her manners and the excitement lasts a really long time! She doesn't jump on me or people she sees regularly anymore as we've been able to train her to not do that but when she sees someone she hasn't seen in a long time or a new person, she just won't stay down. I'm mostly concerned because the family visiting has a very young child. I plan on trying to keep the child away as much as possible but it's still behavior that I would like to curb. I'm just not sure how I can train her to not jump on new people in advance. Any thoughts?

Yes! That's the one! And as she moves her mouth it sounds like she is talking while crying! Too funny!

Aha I know exactly what you mean.... the high pitched excitement whine!

My great Pyrenees does this at times and it’s so hard because she’s 150 pounds and knocks me over nearly every time. Staying consistent on reminding her to not jump before she does it has helped is the most.
