They can be trained to know when it is ok for herding animals but not on people. Takes a lot of consistent work on it & then there is like a lightbulb moment when they finally get it. I am hoping we had one of those moments tonight cause he has been excited & nipping again today. We will see....but I do keep working on this problem.
I realize he jumps up on me because as a puppy it was easier to reach him when he did. But the bigger he gets the more difficult this behavior can be. I just walk right into him when he does it & it just knocks him off but there are still times when we do our hugs & loves when he stands up on me. These mixed messages make training on that difficult. Training must be consistant for them to learn.
He comes when I call & goes where I point all off leash....lol....my eskie doggies never did that unless it was "go truck" which meant a ride
