It will make correcting the jumping behavior easier and also corrections when he is getting into things he shouldn't be. You also need to instruct your guests that the dog receives no attention whatsoever (verbal, eye contact or physical) unless all four paws are on the ground. If he is receiving attention and a paw or two leaves the ground all attention stops. You can also try setting him up with dog people. When he jumps up give him a leash pop and tell him Percy OFF.
You need to be teaching him Percy Drop or Percy Leave It in conjuction with the trade off. It will be easier for him to learn these commands if you use them with the trade. Then in the future the command can be applied in other ways.
Start looking a little harder. He needs to be in obedience classes as much as you do. Try calling shelters, rescues, vet clinics, asking for a referral from people you see with well behaved dogs. |
I totally agree but I would NOT use the name while correcting. It brings a negative conatation to their name.....youDo not want the Dog relateits name with a correction.
