The key to curbing jumping is to simply ignore the dog and not to give the attention that he’s craving for. There are actually 2 ways to train a puppy not to jump: behavior modification and ‘off’ command. The moment the dog tries to jump on you, you step forward, so the dog tends to feel out of balance. Never step backward as that is interpreted as a retreat and actually encourages the puppy to jump up on you. Another alternative is to take your hand and sweep his paws down and say ‘off’. Praise him when he has all his paws on the floor. Some dog breeds are more prone to digging such as Terrier. Dogs can’t be taught not to dig. You can only curb digging by teaching him not to dig in certain areas. Don’t leave your dog unattended in the backyard for long periods of time.
