Q: Jasper, my 2-year-old Labrador retriever, often jumps on me. His feet sometimes muddy my clothes, but I’m more concerned that he might jump on someone else, knock them down, and injure them. A friend advised me to step on his toes or knee him in the chest when he jumps, but that advice isn’t working. What do you recommend?
A: Jasper is jumping on you to get attention. So, teach him what to do instead.
