Every time she sees me, all she does is jump all over me......bada-bing, bada-bing, bada-bing! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well.... I should have come to you guys looking for advice long before now. I call my puppies Pogo Dogs because they don't go bada-bing... they go POOONG !! POOONG !!!!!!! bouncing and putting their front paws on your chest. They are VERY happy and outgoing one year old puppies. They love me (and everyone else) and have a great attitude. HOWEVER, I do want to have them in the house where they do no leap over the coffee table or jump on my face to kiss me (and scratch me in the process). So I am taking them to a Basic Obedience class where they will learn to be proper house guests and polite citizens. It has always worked before - I expect it will work this time also. And I guess I could have/should have done this training early on but somehow that transformation between "adorable" and "obnoxious" seems to occur overnight <G> But I do love them......
