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?

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.

Oh my! 150 lbs?! Yes, jumping on others gets a lot scarier at that weight. My 50 lb pup runs and jumps with such force it nearly take me down and has taken me down a few times too. I'll do my best to head it off. We'll see how it goes on Wednesday. Thanks for sharing!
