Re: Help with a Jack Russell pup

This is what worked for Archie:

Whoever he was jumping up would stand still and straight, cross their arms (so he couldn't reach hands) and turn their back on him to ignore him and didn't give attention until he stopped jumping.

If biting when playing, yelp loudly and stop the game, ignore for a minute then play again!

A few times when ignoring didn't work, we would put him in kitchen for minute or two to calm down.

All these worked for Archie - just hated being ignored and soon learnt he got attention when he wasn't jumping or biting.

Hope it helps
