Our litter is now three months old.
Daisy is now Barli, which means "little bear" in German.
We took Barli to puppy class and learned a way to stop the jumping up. It works, so I'll pass it on (credit for the method goes to Connie Cleveland):
Start by sitting down on a chair.
Tempt the pup to put his front feet up into your lap, with talk, not food.
Gently put your foot on a back paw until he gets all four paws on the floor (this is the hard part if he is dancing around, but the sitting down helps).
Praise using the word "off".
Don't use treats with "off" or he will sit and stare at you, which looks a lot like begging.
Puppies have an opposition reflex. If you push him away from you, he will simply jump back. By touching his foot, you are causing him to want to draw back, not come up.
After he has mastered this skill while you are sitting in a chair, do the same for getting his feet off in other situations.
