My Staffy hyper/excited

hello all i was wondering if anyone had any ideas my 3yr male is very excited when any visitors come in or when we see people on walks he stands up on his back legs and if they come over to see him he trys and jumps up any ideas people?

My boy is the same. I'm inclined to think that it is typical Staffy behaviour - they just love everyone and get soooooo excited, bless them.

Training, training, training is the way to go to stop jumping up, although it may take a long time for the lesson to sink in! I was told when my Dobies were young and almost as excitable to tread on their back paws when they jumped up. I never was very keen on that "cure" so can't say how effective it might have been, but they did grow out of it, eventually, with (kind) reprimands "No jumping" and a check on their collar. Still working on it with Kuchar, he's gradually getting better. Striking the balance between getting the dog to greet visitors/people met on walks calmly and avoiding getting the dog to think that meeting any person will result in severe reprimands can be quite a fine line.

I am also still working on this with Daisy, it's just training, time and patience!

Great advice above, and definitely lots of training, consistency and perseverance is the key! Good luck
