Does anyone have any advice on how to train a 95 lb puppy to STAY DOWN? Kiya is a very loving and friendly dog and loves to jump on people when saying hello. She gets really excited when we have company and literally almost knocks our friends over when they first walk through the door. We have tried distracting her with treats but as soon as the treat is gone, she is back to being excited and jumping all over our guests. Most people act like they don't mind her jumping but I can see how annoying it is and I don't want anyone to get hurt. She is very smart and understands the words NO and DOWN. I really think she wants to listen and stay down but she gets so excited that it is almost impossible. Does anyone else have this problem?

At church sunday the preacher said that dogs wouldn't go to church because they had no souls, this simply isn't true! I was so angry I wanted to tell the man that he was a fool and hit him up side the head but alas I was in church. I found this quote and I agree with it whole hearted-You think dogs will not be in heaven?  I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.  ~Robert Louis Stevenso
