Hi there,
Matilda is 6 months old and I have been working on teaching her not to jump up and it's going pretty well but I am reading different information about it and have some questions.
Some articles say that the dog jumps up to show dominance and others say that it's just that the dog wants to get close to your face to give you a kiss.
Either way, it's no good for her to jump on people with muddy paws and outside I tell her not to when I see her winding up to pounce on me and she sits down instead. But inside while I'm on the computer or watching tv she comes up and first puts one paw on my lap, then the other then gets her paws on my shoulders and seems to be giving me a hug. It seems very cute and sweet but is this my human interpretation? Should I be allowing this?
Thanks
