Dogs Jumping Up On People
I am sure you have had instances where a dog jumps up on you. Each time this has happened to me the owner is immediately apologizing. They should be and the reason is quite simply this is a bad behavior. The sort of behavior you should definitely discourage with a big dog. Once they are fully grown you are not going to want them to jump up on you or anyone else.
I think it helps while they are puppies to spend time down on the floor playing with them. By putting yourself at their eye level, they won't be as inclined to jump up on you. This does not mean that puppies will not still try to jump on you when you are standing. Turn sideways, when they start to jump up on you. Gently knee them to block their jumping. Push them down gently but firm enough for them to know that you don't want them jumping on you. Tell them, "No!" and mean it. Be consistent in discouraging this bad behavior.
Whenever you are training your puppy or dog, make sure you have their attention. It will be up to you to discourage bad behavior as frequently as possible. The individuals who stick to a training program will be happier with their pets and their pets will also be happier. Life is easier for all of us, if we know what is expected of us.
BRANDYKEGS hopes that you have found the entries over the past month useful.

Socializing Your Puppy
By exercising your puppy you are helping them to socialize with other people and other dogs. This is more important than you may realize. I don't think you are going to want a big dog that is aggressive. If they learn to socialize early on with other dogs no matter their size, it works out better for everyone. The same train of thought is true with meeting other people; you don't want family and friends to be terrified of your dog.
If possible the first time your puppy has an encounter with another dog, plan the meeting. In other words, know the other dog and their temperament. Ideally you will want an easy going friendly dog, this way your puppy's first dog encounter is a positive experience. In fact, I would definitely avoid people who do not have control of their dogs. Puppies or dogs remember bad experiences and this can lead to some serious problems with keeping them socialized with other dogs and people.
BRANDYKEGS will have some additional info tomorrow.
