<p> Well at almost 1 1/2 Brady has finally stopped jumping. It has been a long year. He is still our most active Irish. We call him our wild child. This is our fourth Irish & he is most definately the most active.</p>

When you recall get your dog to sit as he comes in have a treat at muzzle level and give the sit sign. Reward. It works be consistent with all of the family working together. Turning away can work and just take a step forward as they go to jump up. Remember praise reward when the good behaviour is given. Remember an adolescence dog has so much going on so a few problems can happen so make training fun and short. Waving cans yelling etc are not training good behaviour. When you have visitors…
When you recall get your dog to sit as he comes in have a treat at muzzle level and give the sit sign. Reward. It works be consistent with all of the family working together.

Remember an adolescence dog has so much going on so a few problems can happen so make training fun and short. Waving cans yelling etc are not training good behaviour. When you have visitors just pop him out the way till everyone has settle have coffee on the table let him out tell them not to look touch or speak he will soon get bored when he shoves off reward. So important to know when you are pleased with him. Setters are jumpers. Another thing that can work is to put the cuddles on cue to ask him to come up have a cuddle then ask him off reward. Hope that might help. Brady has certainly been th…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2014-04-24:865021:Comment:11378592014-04-24T21:45:43.620Zcarol marcumhttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/carolmarcum
<p> Brady has certainly been the most active one we have ever had. Today he almost took the window out bc a squirrel was in his yard. (those pesky critters) He is better in Mi. where he has much more room to play & run. We shall see how things turn out. He did go for training & that was good until they thru balls back & forth & he was made to sit & stay. That did not work out well at all. We take him to the park to chase balls.</p>

<p>Our dog Sawyer is very into jumping as well. We've had some luck in disciplining ourselves really. Instead of coming in and petting him, we come in and make him sit. When he sits we praise him, and that has helped. Then we had to figure out how to stop him from jumping at our back as we then carried on into the house. The best thing for us has just been to give lots of commands when he's excited. He always follows me around and when he's calm that's fine. But when he's excited and acting…</p>

The best thing for us has just been to give lots of commands when he's excited. He always follows me around and when he's calm that's fine. But when he's excited and acting like this I basically need to narrate my walk around the house. I walk in the door and it's "Sit. Good boy. (scratches) Come." Then when I get where I'm headed, "Sit." Then when I move again, "come." Then when I et to the room I'm headed, "Sit". Until he relaxes. It's tedious but it helps.</p>
<p>I also use a leash when guests are at home. I cut one off so it only drags on the floor enough to get my foot on it when people come in the door. Just having it on makes him behave better.</p>
<p>Lastly, get a squirt bottle. That will either fix the problem immediately or have absolutely no impact whatsoever! Gotta love these dogs... they're totally their own breed.</p> Brady is now just over a year…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2014-04-23:865021:Comment:11375592014-04-23T21:48:51.428Zcarol marcumhttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/carolmarcum
<p>Brady is now just over a year & we are still having jumping issues. He is good about staying in the yard most of the time. It got so bad in florida that we considered finding a new home for him. We are taking one day at a time for now. He is our fourth irish & is truly our wild child.</p>

<p> Brady has seen a trainer & we are using a gentle lead for walks. This seems to help but you can't let him get away with anything. He is now 70# & just a rowdy as ever. It's like having a 2 year old again.</p>
