Hello all- New member looking for advice on jumping up

Hello Everyone,

I am so glad to have found this forum! I have a 6 month old red and white staffy called Jackson. I'm having trouble at the moment getting him to stop jumping up at people when they come through the door. I have tried the ignoring/turning your back trick and it doesn't seem to be working (I think this may be because when he sees people on walks etc, they give him love when he jumps at them.) He also really enjoys spending time with my nephews - unfortunately this has led to him getting really excited and jumping up at prams/children. Andy advise would be appreciated as I have been keeping him on the lead allot because of this recently!

I have also noticed that he seems to have learnt that if he pushes me on the body when he jumps up with his front paws he can jump allot higher. Its starting to become painful and I was wondering if this is a sign of dominance?

Thanks everyone!
