people like me probably don't help with dogs that do the whole excited jumping thing, I get down to their level and revel in the licks, nips, hugs, jumps......

so do i! who wouldn't want that! lol

it's just training them to do certain things that may help them/save them or not upset someone else.

teddys talent is finding people who are afraid of dogs, he just seems to know

Thanks. Went really well actually, and given us things to work on.

Can i ask what you need to do/change?

Teddy's worse trait, jumping up when he's excited, we were told to concentrate on one comand, something he does well, and keep saying it.
He can only do one thing at a time, so will, with practice do it.

So we use sit, and when he goes to jump up, to greet, we just repeat it.

Slowly over the weeks and months, it's gone from saying it 50+ times, to maybe 3 or 4 and him actually doing it

The main issue we have with Sid is his behaviour towards other dogs, and him ignoring us. Need to work on eye contact, and getting Sid to focus on us. Always stick with key words on commands, as often we mix them up and it becomes white noise to him.

Jumping up is an issue with have the younger one. He gets over excited and jumps up at people. Haven’t managed to work on that yet.

This is Milo, we've had this little doofus for 4 years now and are his third family. He has a few quirks, such as hates the lead coming off ( a piece of cake to put on, but a length of rope does the trick and once home The Lad just lets go of one end). Very affectionate and guards the street never mind the house!

Milo is a very handsome boy! Lovely markings.

Thank you Wish I could get mine to pose like that. Whenever I take photos they seem to be facing away from the camera or have just moved!

Classic examples of my skills:

So Arch had to go to the vets today to remove a growth on his gum that was forever bleeding. The vet said it would also mean he’d lose a tooth as well. Anyways, the vet carried out two successful operations today: one to remove the growth and tooth and one to remove £580 for the privilege.

It’s not just Arch who’s not quite himself at the moment…

Poor boy......

Hope you’re both doing ok, more like one operation and one dry bumming ?

Cheers Old Bean, he does have an odd trait of taking a sock from the laundry and guarding it in his bed, haven't a clue why! On a more serious note he does have a kinked tail as we think some cruel bugger did a number on him in his past, which explains some of his oddness.

Drop treats every time you meet people - he'll learn that the ground is more interesting.

More Milo. Watching The Boy build his Lego Technic Defender, and if he fits he sits.
