Ok, I'm sure this has been addressed in the past by someone but searching briefly I couldn't find it. I cannot, for the life of me, get our two beagles to stop jumping up on me, my hubby, or guests. When I come home from work I understand they're excited because they've been home alone all day. I've tried a few things to no avail. When I turn my back to them and wait for them to settle they jump again as soon as I turn around. I've tried holding their paws when they jump up until they're a little uncomfortable. Every time I think they're getting it they jump again. And Rocky is the worst because he'll actually leave the ground, and he can jump HIGH even from a stand still. My hubby is about 6'3 and Rocky can jump from a stand still practically into his arms. And it never fails, he waits to jump until I bend down to pet him. Today, I let them both out when I came in and it was raining. So when they came back on to the porch I was going to dry off their feet. Well, as soon as I bent to dry Rocky's feet he jumped up at my face and clocked me good, even made me bleed because he opens his mouth sometimes when he's jumping and panting. He's not purposely trying to hurt us but it does! They're both very smart but they just don't seem to get it!
Any suggestions?
