She is still here with me. She loves Jodie, but it does get a bit confusing when she looks around what ever name you shout. She has had notraining and I cannot seem to get her out of jumping up. She knocked me flying yesterday and I am very bruised and sore at the moment. I have tried the knee to the chest, turning my back, trying to dodge out of the way, pushing her down and bellowing down at her. Nothing makes any difference! I am going to get a water sprayer and try that next because I cannot have her jumping up, she is only 6 months old but she is a large 6 mth old and stocky. She has plenty of weight behind her. I have had a few enquiries from people but they either have old dogs or very young dogs and I think she would be better in a one to one situation until she has some training and will listen. She doesnt listen to anyone if she is interacting with one of the other dogs. She will jump onto the sofa to look out of the window and she will not get down... I have to physically get hold of her and push her down. She doesnt seem to understand any commands at all.....

Any help or advice gratefully received as I am getting nowhere.

Hey Lynn,

seems to me quite a challenge to tame her...

I had mostly success with stepping on the hindfeet when they are jumping up. You must be very quick, but it works!

Success, Dorit
