For
jumping, the trick is to ignore him when he jumps and pet him
when he doesn't. This will need the cooperation of everyone who
is around him. No one should ever pet him, touch him, speak to
him, or even look straight at him unless all 4 paws are on the
floor. I know some people advocate the knee-to-the-chest or the
step-on-the-paws approach, but those people's dogs are mostly
still jumping. After all, dogs jump for attention. Don't give
it.
If it's a big dog or a small person, the person may have to
brace him- or herself against a wall or a tree or something; but
then it's hands on shoulders, eyes looking up, no sounds.
There is a thing called an Extinction Burst, when the behavior
gets worse just before it stops. It happens less than half the
time with jumping, but it happens more with jumping than with
any other behavior; so it's good to know what's going on if it
does happen. Just remember to get down there and pet your dog
when the feet are on the floor; he'll start to jump, you'll do
the hands-on-shoulders-look-up-no-sound, he'll get down, you'll
pet, etc. You'll feel like one of those toy birds that tips over
then bounces back upright, but it will work.
