Hopefully that works....for our dog that is the que to try to jump into your lap/on your head
but she is 80lbs and full grown so maybe the puppy will work better.

To teach your dog DOWN! When she jumps on you raise your knee, hard and say DOWN! A knee in the gut helps to get the message across. Scold a moment, then praise for her NOT jumping on you. That will most likely make her jump on you again for more attention, knee her hard again, DOWN! Rinse repeat. That has always worked for me. It will get real exciting when DOWN works without the knee. LOL

That is how we train all of our dogs and none of our big dogs jumped before we had the kid. I have been doing the same to re-train her but she doesnt seem to care. I felt bad for a second, DH did it hard enough she lost her feet on the fake hardwood and slammed into the floor....I was like omg and went to get up she jumped back up and back on him in about the time it took my butt to clear the cushion. I think she is "acting out" cause she misses the kid. WE are just going to keep working on it.
I hate it cause I'm short and she is actually taller then me on her hind legs and often scratches or hits me in the face with her legs/feet.

Ouch! Paws in the face! Hmmmm....... Maybe some intense sessions with a choke chain collar and leash, ramp up the scolding to a higher level. Once her feet hit the ground, back her up by walking into her, stepping on toes if she doesn’t move, snarling DOWN. Kinda like training a horse, the one that can make the other one move their feet is the winner. Make her move her feet and assert dominance. Make her sit, be quick to praise for good behavior. Just throwing ideas out there, we’ll brainstorm this dog together LOL.

I'll give it a try and see how it goes. i did get her not to jump up at all yesterday so it's a start.

Especially as we get older and don't balance on one leg so well anymore!

Oops, hit wrong thing. Phone makes it harder.
Eve is a very calm ewe, she nuzzled noses with Sentry.
He watched what she and her lambs did. He kept his tail low, that is a good thing. That means he is relaxed and the sheep take their cue from him. I want to see that tail position that says he’s no threat to them. Sentry is doing great!
He followed them out of the lot, tail still hanging low and relaxed. Good boy!
Hanging with the flock.
It seems all of a sudden his chest is wider and his head is growing to the massive shape it will become. My baby is growing up!
