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.
If your helpers can do this
starting and stopping of giving the
pup attention consistently your puppy will quickly learn that
jumping, mouthing and
getting overly excited doesn't «pay off».
