First female dog (Boxer)

Question
I was recently given a 7 month old female boxer, the dog is a great dog but I've never owned a female dog.  Two Questions, (1) she hasn't had her first season yet, how do I know it's coming/here and what do I do?  (2) She jumps up on people a lot how can I curb this behavior?

Answer
Dear Carl, Thanks for the questions.  Sorry I can't help you with the first question about reproductive functions. I can give you very detailed instructions for the jumping behavior. Please visit may website, sign up for the mailing list to get access to free How's Bentley library. There you will find a free handout with several pages about jumping up.

Thank you. Happy training!
