Argh Harry is starting to drive me just a little bit insane with his two new found attributes...

Barking and jumping.

We've been really good with him with his jumping up excitidley to greet us and now get a rather squeeky jumpy sit like his far too giddy to properly sit down, its more like a sit with a little bounce included, which is a step in the right direction and he's getting better at it, we dont have to wait so long for him to do it and the sitting is getting calmer.

BUT. how on earth do we stop him jumping up at the worktop/table/sink. ?! He's very very nosey and likes to know exactly whats going on where he cant quite see. I just dont know where to start to tackle that?!

And his barking, its pretty much the same, we ignore him and turn our backs on him when he barks at us, and he evenutally calms and sits then we turn and give him attention. But how do we stop him barking at the radiator (his new found obsession) or barking at the tea towel because it is slightly hanging off the worktop and he cant quite reach it when he jumps?!

Oh Harry!

I must say, on a more positive note. He is well on his way to mastering 'leave' with cheese and I am very proud. I dont doubt that we can curb this current behaviour in him, but how?!

thank you for any help
