We have had our beautiful 17 week old Bullmastiff puppy for 3 weeks now. She is responding well to all training at home and has taken to being walked on a lead. The only problem is that when she meets new people either in or out of the house she gets really excited and playful, she continually jumps up at them. This is worrying as she is getting big now and Im worried she may knock over a child. Ive tried getting her to sit before she meets new people but she does it for about 2 seconds and then stops listening as she is so excited.
She doesnt do this to myself or my partner when we get home. (We ignore her for about 5 minutes) She is very friendly to people and other dogs. How do i get her to listen and pay attention to me?
