Okay, so this may come across as a bit clich\u00e9d, but it really is the ultimate secret to success in training your dog. You need to be calm and project very little energy off of which your dog can feed. So you first need to practice being calm, which starts with how you react to your dog\u2019s high energy provocations and their own reactions. When feeding your canine, wait for him to be calm first — perhaps wait for him to sit down before filling up his food bowl. He must learn to wait for you to finish filling the food bowl up before approaching it to eat.<\/p>\n

Teach him to stop jumping up on people<\/h3>\n

Dogs love this and it\u2019s perhaps nothing more than a show of some friendship and affection, but it can be a problem if your canine grows big or if their advances aren\u2019t appreciated by other fellow holidaymakers. Whenever he jumps up onto you, just knee him in the ribs very gently to create a bit of discomfort and not hurt him, just so that the act of jumping up onto people gets associated with some discomfort. Get some of the other family members in on it too so that he knows that the discomfort associated with jumping up onto people is universal.<\/p>\n
