Yeah she was doing that whole push away thingy to get him to come running back to her & then pushing him away again, you know what I mean, & then he got really excited & wanted to do it over & over again?? But I am teaching the girls to push him down when he jumps so I want him to NOT come back if he is pushed away - for him to realise that pushing him down means 'no' & that he has done something inappropriate.

I like how you look that the longevity of the puppy's life, that it will only be a pup for a very short time & a BIG dog for the majority of it!
