I did this with a 5 year old black lab. I had to use my body to kinda make him lay down at first but other than that, great.

I hope this works for miri. I am willing to try. I took him out and played ball that usually chills him out real good. Not this morning he was still wound up. So I played a little fetch in the house. He was still jumping on me. Then I remembered reading that ignoring them is best when they are misbehaving. It worked. Lol

I tried the steps that ehow gave me. I did it for 5 minutes and my dog got it quickly! Although I still have to work with her to do it right cause she won't do it anywhere else but her training room. But that was only her first class! :D -
