I have an 11 month old Fox Terrier/Poodle Mix. He is trained in terms of sit, stay, come, lie down, etc. My problem is when I get visitors... He jumps (not just ON the person, but about 3-4 ft in the air) and just will not calm down when the visitors come into and remain in the house. It takes him a good 30 mintues before he returns to "normal" and a relaxed state. He does the same when I come into the house, but I can tell him to sit, and pet him and he will listen. But - when visitors come, it is truly embarrassing. I have tried: giving the visitor treats, getting them to tell the dog to sit, then giving the dog a treat, keeping him on a leash so he cannot jump, holding him (in the sit position, holding onto his collar) down asking him to sit letting the visior pet him - none of these tactics have worked. He simply turns into a maniac with visitors, very spastic/uncrontrollable. I have also tried putting him in his cage when people come over, but then he barks and cries. HELP!!! Thank you so much.
