Hi everyone.
I've had Jerry for just over a month now; he's a 5-month-old Australian Shepherd x German Shepherd cross ^^
I did plenty of research before getting him, and his training was going brilliantly. He loves learning, going out, running, and playing, and he's very affectionate.
But there's a little issue I need to sort out as soon as possible. My mum is a childminder, so she looks after toddlers under 3 at home.
The problem is that my dog jumps up all the time. Let me explain: he’s constantly jumping on the furniture, over and over again. He's been doing this for the last 2 or 3 days; before that, his training was spot on. He won't stop putting his front paws up when we're eating, and on the worktops—actually, I've noticed he does it most where my mum is cooking x) I'll be honest, I'm stuck for ideas on how to fix this, other than pushing him away and saying "no", but I'm not really a fan of that style of training. I need to sort this out ASAP. I'm sure you'll understand that with young children around, this behaviour isn't ideal ^^'.
Do you have any suggestions to help me out? Thanks :)
