Hey all
Hoping for a bit of advice!
My sister is well on her way to being heavily pregnant (7 months at the mo).
Her dog is an absolutely lovely boy but he is very, very big and has a tendency to get over excited and at his size, it causes a few problems.
He is about 5 years old now and goes on roughy 3 walks a day. He isn't great on a lead and can rarely be let off unless they are far away from roads as his recall isn't too good.
The main concerns I have are:
* He gets extremely excited when ever someone comes to the house and jumps up you - how can this be calmed down? As he's so big, it can hurt ! But I'm worried about when children will be going to the house.
* He pulls on the lead and gets very excited whenever he meets a stranger. Now my sister is getting quite big, she's going to struggle with this.
I do know this all should have been addressed years ago.
Any tips would be fab!!!
