5 - My dog keeps running after other people
"Your dog
shouldn't be off lead and allowed to jump on people. You teach how
she is supposed to meet and greet people. The usual approach is to
teach a sit...sit politely for petting. That stops helps to stop the
jumping.
As for the pulling, she should be paying attention to you....looking
for her sit cue so that she can meet the person but, you have to
teach the sit and self-control to do that.
When
you see something you think your dog will be interested
in, give the sit immediately. When she puts her eyes on
the target, say "look-at-that". As she continues looking
at it, say "good look" and reward. Repeat as long as she
is interested. If she tries to break the sit, give a
leash pop and put her back into it.
After a while you won't have to give the commands
anymore. She will know to sit and look on her own when
she sees something interesting. But you can still use
the commands as a reinforcement. And always reward your
dog for staying under control."
