Okay, this question is actually about my Mini Aussie, not a Corgi, but I figure it's probably the same for any dog. Sky is an 11 month old Mini Aussie and is VERY personable. His favorite thing to do in the world is make new friends. Now I love that he is so friendly and outgiong, but this leads to an excessive amount of jumping on any person who might be a new "friend." We went to at trainer at one point to try and remedy the problem, but he methods actually seemed to make his jumping worse. Prior to training he would only jump on other people, but never me. Now he jumps on me all the time too.
When he jumps on others I tell them to ignore him until he sits.Unfortunately, this rarely happens and if it does, it's a good 10 minutes later. With me, I tell him "no" or "off" and ignore him until he is calm. Today he was particularly jumpy and I ended up losing my temper with him. I don't want greetings to be negative time like that! I know that I have to work on keeping myself calm no matter his actions, but I am desperate to fix this problem. This is something I really need to get under control, at least somewhat, in the next 3 weeks before the new puppy comes home and starts learning the same bad habits. Help!
