Good questions
Before you begin.
Is kneeing a jumping dog ok?
No. It can hurt and confuse the dog. Teach an alternative instead.
How do I stop a counter surfer?
Manage the kitchen first and teach an alternative behavior such as going to a mat.
Why does my dog jump more when excited?
Excitement is high, and impulse control is low. Short, calm practice helps.
Do all dogs outgrow it?
Some improve with age, but many keep doing what works.
