[QUOTE="Fran, post: 269627, member: 3"] DDD, I'm a big fan of obedience training for big dogs. They are way too powerful if they aren't trained appropriately. We don't do them any favors by letting bad behavior continue. They shouldn't be allowed to jump up on people. I'm a fan of crates until they are ready to be left unsupervised. I still keep mine somewhat contained to the kitchen area when alone. There are some wonderful dog training books. Try the "dog whisperer" books. They are kind and helpful. Exercise, discipline then affection. Chew toys, boundaries, exercise all are helpful. I have read that the pronged collars are helpful if not used inappropriately. I haven't used them yet. My 100 + pups are not allowed to jump up on people because it's dangerous as well as obnoxious. Fortunately, they aren't chewers. No furniture sitting either. there wouldn't be room for people. The first month seems to be a learning process for the pup and owners. My guys were almost 2yrs old when I got them but they did very well with training. I learned new ways and so did they. Good luck with your new addition. We are hoping to add to our family next weekend. [/QUOTE]
