Oscar's mama
Boxer Booster
I need to get my six month old puppy Oscar not to jump up on children. I have trained him to sit and stay instead of jumping when adult guests come over -- have been somewhat successful with that If that doesn't work I have my guests ignore him until he calms down. When I have children over he gets so excited that the sit-stay doesn't work for very long. For instance, I had my friends 2 year old baby over last week. I had Oscar sit-stay when the boy was in my arms. (I didn't want to put him down until Oscar was calm). Once I put him down Oscar was so excited he started the jumping again. I tried this 3 or 4 times more with no success. I didn't want the baby to get hurt so I did not put him down the entire hour that he was over. I just let Oscar sniff and lick him when he was in my arms. Any advice? Or is this something he may grow out of? I do want to socialize him with children in the house because I am planning on having a baby now.
