That was a wonderful report. I have a little problem with my 6 ½ month old, unaltered male, he is a great dog, but when ever I come home from work, or where ever, if he is not in his kennel, due to the fact someone else is home with him, he literally pumles me with excitement. Meaning he jumps on me, no matter what I do, he doesn' stop until he decides he is done. I have tried everything!! If he has a pinch collar on, the behavior problem does not occur, but my spouse says it is too dangerous to leave it on him all the time. I have tried repeating off, I have kneed him, I have turned my back to him, and even tried the ignoring part of it, until the excitement stops. Nothing seems to work. I think he thinks this is a game, but I fear he will accidentally hurt someone, one of these days. I am only 5''4, 128 lbs., and he can reach my shoulders if he is on his hind legs, and weighs 92 lbs., he can literally knock me over, if I'm not careful. Outside of that, he is a well behaved rottie. Seems to do it to women, more so than men. Any suggestions?
