Whenever my friends come to our home my Jack Russell "Joe" keeps jumping up at them, how can I stop him?
Answer: I do not like dogs jumping up at visitors either. The best way to deal with this is to put him away, and not allow him to "greet" your guests. He is acting like an Alpha, a Top Dog. Best whenever the bell rings, put him away, after a few days he will automatically be ready to be put away. When your friends arrive and have settled, he can then be brought into the room, on your terms. By bringing him into the room, he now has to try to establish his status. Best not to look at him or talk to him for a few minutes, I bet he will settle down within a few minutes !
