Question

Kiya My new dog Kiya is a 2 yr old German Shepherd / Lab Mix and I've had her for 5 months now she is a real sweetheart she came housebroken , spayed , the only thing that drives me crazy is that she jumps on you and pulls when you walk her without her head halter on it seems like she knows when its on and off and we just got her where she sleeps in her own bed at night but allowed to sleep on it during the day time . I have told my boyfriend time and time again to ignore her when she jumps and only pet her when she sits not before that. Please can you offer any advice thanks.

Answer
You are correct in the advice you give your boyfriend; any kind of "touching" is reward to the dog, so if we push him off for jumping, he has just been rewarded.

Here is some information that I hope will be helpful:
