In all seriousness, I believe the dog does not understand what you want of it. I know this because I can barely understand what you have written.
If you do not have the time to train your dog or the money to get it trained, how the heck do you expect your dog to stop its undesirable behaviour? My suggestion, find a good home for it.
You have to have so much patience. But the very best thing is when she jumps turn away from her. Any reaction from you means she’s getting the attention she wants by jumping which is why she thinks it’s okay to keep doing it.
Another thing is, tell your friends and family the same thing so that they can do the same when they come over. A few weeks/month later you’ll be good to go if everyone helps now!
Say “NO JUMPING!” and turn your back or leave the room the moment she does it. Ask her to sit, or make her, and reward her immediately if she listens. I also saw that turning sideways has the same effect.
Please don’t give her away – this is normal puppy behavior and it is easily corrected with time and patience
kneeing her helps at times but not often. when you come home don’t get all lovey dovey with her so she doesn’t get too excited. when she jumps say NO and try to grab her paws and squeeze them gently but don’t let go and every time she is jumps do repeat it so that she learns not to do it. just remember that constancy is the key.
You take hold of her collar, make her go into a sit/stay and STAY there until she calms.
You keep doing this until she gets it. You can use a treat reward when she sit/stays and does not jump.
It is a matter of consistency and patience.
Try firmly telling her “No,” and then afterwards, show her that she has down the correct thing by giving her a treat or something of the kind. If this does not help, I would advise asking Dog Fancy magazine.
Well, you may just be in luck. I have had 7 dobies over the years and by far the females are the best and easiest to train. First of all, she will remain a puppy for about another year as dobies go. Second of all, do not ever raise your hand to her. Stern words, not yelled words work best. You will need to spend a lot of time with here for a short while. You will need to walk her on a leash, always telling her in your nicest voice “good girl” when she obeys your commands. Also, when she goes against your commands, you should tell her in a stern and firm voice “no” or “bad girl” and start over again. After a few days or so, she will begin to respond to you. As of now, she is the boss and she knows it, so you will need to change it slowly but steadily. It will work. I have never had a dobie that did not respond to firm and kind. They both work together. When she jumps on your boyfriend, you need to grab her collar and pull her to the sit position all the while telling her no. Once you have her in the sit position, tell her ‘sit’ and then let her collar go and tell her “stay” while pointing at her. When she starts to get up, repeat this process. It will take several times and then she will get the message. Mommy is boss and I have to do what she tells me as that makes her happy ! Now, on the other side, she can and will be extreamly dangerous to an outsider , especially if that person acts loud , moves around a lot or threatens you in any way. Dobis are not ankle biters, but they tend to rise up and since they are big, they bite in the neck and face area. I always used to tell people that when in my house, mind their manners as my female dobis would most likely turn into jack the ripper with more blades and much faster than any human could possibly imagine. Until you have seen a dobie light off , you cannot possibly imagine the destruction they are capable of in only about two seconds. After your past the puppy stage, always leave her out when you have company in , especially unknown company as she will feel bad vibes much faster then you can. She will get antsy and will not allow that person to touch her or you and should someone get out of line with you , you will be the most grateful person in the world that you took the time to train her with love and your valuable time. She may just save your life someday. They are better then a loaded gun as they are always loaded and ready. Any further questions, just ask and i will do my best to answer them for you and good luck with your princess !
I’ve seen the “turning your back” technique on “It’s Me Or The Dog” on TV, and I think it can help at least a little bit if you do it CONSISTENTLY. EVERY time she jumps up, you would HAVE to do it, or else she may start to get confused, and that method would no longer work. Also, a lot of dogs who jump up like that, like my own doggie, are usually only doing it to be friendly. They want to greet you, play with you, kiss you, etc., and that’s their way of showing you how excited they are to see you! Sometimes, it works if you just COMPLETELY ignore the dog until she stops being hyper and jumping up and sits or relaxes. After she calms down and sits, lays down, or just stands quietly, then you can go ahead and greet her or do whatever you were going to do. You have to make sure that everyone who will come in contact with her does the same thing though, which can be tough. It takes a lot of time, and it’s hard, but she’ll eventually learn if you are firm and consistent in your training with her. If all else fails, you can try getting a device like this, http://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/product.as… which is handheld and doesn’t harm the dog, it only emits a noise that only they can hear, and use that sound in conjunction with the firm “NO!” or “DOWN!” to reinforce that training even more. Good luck!!
I have a doberman my self she is 15 months, the nibbling does stop, she was bad about it. one of the main steps in that is socializing. i took mine to the dog park at a young age, and older dogs will correct it when they nibble at them.
Akasha has quit jumping at me, but she tends to still do it with select people. as mentioned in some peoples advice, “its me or the dog” method does work but you have to be willing to take the time, not only you, but your guest. Another method they say in the show is everytime they jump you leave the room. and when you walk back out and they jump you do it again, you keep doing this till they get the hint. A DOG SHOULD ALWAYS BE REWARDED weather it is for good or bad behavior, good behavior gets rewarded with treats, and YOU bad behavior gets rewarded with you leaving.(not what they want) hang in there. Akasha is now amazing shes starting to listen. and be extra SMART
as for the sitting, if you see her sitting randomly around the house, then reward, and say sit. you have to have plenty of time for training 15 min at least a day.
i use the finger command, while shes looking at me i point my finger towards the ground (treat in hand helps) then to lay i move my hand from the down position to the floor (Treat still in hand) good luck. be patient, there really smart!!
Dogs start this behaviour because when they are puppies people get down on the floor with them, or call them the dog jumps up and then they get a pat or a cuddle. So as they get older and bigger they keep hoping this will happen again.
8 month old dogs have alot of energy, and need to be exercised alot so they will concentrate when your training them.
Encourage the dog to do the correct behaviour by rewarding with treats when she’s on the ground. Dogs respond well to positive reinforcement.
But if you trained the dog correctly during the socialisation period 8-16weeks you wouldn’tt be having this problem now. You should do the right thing by the dog and get a trainer to help you or at least thoroughly re-search correct training techniques. It’s your fault the dog is like this and definitely not the dogs. Take responsibility and do the right thing.
So many dogs are in shelters because their owners never spent the time or money training them correctly. This is just as important and maintaining their health.
