    Jumping Up

    Whenever strange people come into the house...Annie goes crazy.  She loves to meet new people, but usually they are not too excited to meet her because she jumps all over them and usually scratches their arms up unintentionally.  This is a problem because now many people do not like to be in the same room as her.  Does anyone have any tips on helping to get her out of this jumping stage?

    Have her on leash when people come over. She stays with you, on her leash. If necessary keep your foot on the leash (with enough slack for her to stand up comfortably) so that she is not able to jump up. And you might benefit by taking an obedience class with her. Ideally after some training you will be able to tell her to lay down and stay when guests come in, and she doesn't get up until you say so... but of course that takes a lot of training and practice. Good luck. [:)]
