Overtime your pup will anticipate this scenario and start
to offer «calm» behavior on his own; typically SITS —
until then anticipate a «jumping
dog» and be prepared
to have him sit BEFORE he has a chance
to jump, or ignore him and walk away if he jumps up because you missed the chance
to request a SIT —
Pay attention to your puppy at all times, when he naps you can take a break
to get other things done and then prepare for his awakening once again — then the process of training starts all over and becomes a cycle you must repeat, and your puppy will continue
to learn good healthy habits
to be proud of once he grows up into that delightful adult
dog you envision.
Towel dry the
dog first and then use a warm hair dryer
until all of the coat is dry, including the undercoat,
paying special
attention to the underside of the
dog.
