First of all, HI everyone! My boyfriend and I just got Thor a month ago. He'll be 4 months old on 2/4.
We want him to be a polite little boy and my question is...how do we encourage him to be more calm when meeting other people and dogs? We're trying to teach him not to jump since he's getting big and heavy fast, but he gets pretty enthusiastic and ends up scaring the neighbors' dogs (we of course have him on leash). He doesn't bark or growl, just gets excited and leaps at everyone and everything! He gets his last shots tomorrow so we can start taking him to puppy class, but for now I just want to keep him from knocking everyone over
Any advice for me?
Thanks in advance!
