I have an 18 month chow/ golden mix that i have had for about a month now.. when we got him he didnt know how to sit, laydown, fetch or give paw... My husband taught him all that in the first weekend we had him! However our biggest issues are teaching him to NOT jump up on everyone he sees and NOT to bark at everyone and everydog that comes into his sight... My husband is trying , and none of the methods seem to work, ive done some research online, but doesnt seem to be getting anywhere with those either... My daughter is getting really discouraged, she doesnt even want to walk him anymore because he seems to be out of control... i know paatience is a key factor with dogs, but people are starting to not even visit anymore because they dont want to be barbrred with dog when \they walk in the door... Plesae if you have any advice that would be greatly appreciated... Anything that worked OR didnt work for you?? Thanks in advance

I am not really sure what you could do either other than to scold him for doing what he does. sometimes that does not help either. We have an 11 year old Pomeranian and he loves to bark at everything. That gets on my nerves so bad. I have thought about getting him a bark collar.

For jumping, my family always tapped the dog's nose and said no or, for bigger dogs, pulled up your leg so the dog's chest and paws hit your knee and say no. In time, the dog learns, hey I get fussed at when I do this, and stops jumping.
The only problem is getting your guest to enforce this rule as well. Getting pet for jumping up is a big nono.
