    Lincoln is now 11 months old. He’s a great dog in every way except with the jumping on us when he’s excited. He only does it to us though. He’s very well behaved in public.
    Of course here’s a few photos of our beautiful boy.:inlove:

    Hi @Jade

    I can't get the video to play.

    Can you tell us what you have tried so far to stop the undesirable behaviour? What do you do when he jumps up?

    We’ll we’ve just been telling him off and that’s working some time.

    I would try telling him to sit stay or down stay @Jade. Initially get a small duration of stay before greeting. If he jumps up during the greeting, then cue sit or down stay again. Make sure you reward the calmness inherent in the stay. Mark and treat in position before you give your release cue. Gradually increase the duration of the stay. Reward calmness.

    I can see an image of Lincoln's gorgeous coat but I get an error message when I hit the play button.

    That figures. I can’t even get photos on here.
    Thank you for the compliment for Lincoln and the advice. I’ll give it a try.

    Thank you. Were you able to view the video? I guess it’s not working for some.
