Brady is now almost 12 weeks old. He is a good boy. He sits before his meals, does ok on recall, working on leave it, go get it, bring it, drop it. He lets us take his random pick ups out of his mouth, etc. and loves nothing more than a good belly rub... BUT he has started jumping up and nipping more. We yelp when nipped and ignore. When he jumps we gently put him down and say sit (with great reward and praise when he does). Any other ideas are welcome. I'm around more, so he listens more to me. My husband isn't around as much....and is thus a special playmate when he comes home (but doesn't always enjoy that role!).
Working on an incompatible behaviour like sit is great. You can pop a houseline on him so that you have some control. It's just a light line so you can lead him away from someone or something.
