How to keep my dog from growling and jumping? Dogs Training Discussions
I have a 13 month old blue heeler named Rodeo. He is an absolutely gorgeous and very friendly dog but he has two big issues I just cant seem to solve, he growls at times and he jumps all over people. When he does something bad and I tell him no or go outside he will growl and every night when he is really tired and I need to move him or I tell him to move he growls. Now, he doesnt bite and has never snapped at me or anyone but the growling can get intimidating to some people because he does get quite loud at times and Im not sure how to stop it. The other thing is the jumping, he jumps on people all the time including children. He doesn't want to hurt them he just gets really excited, the ears go back and the tail starts wagging really fast, then he jumps. I tell him "down" or "sit" but nothing really works. Any ideas? everything is welcome.
