Help! My dog jumps on me and my guests

With the holidays around the corner it means we're getting tons of visitors all of a sudden, many of them elderly people or babies or toddlers. Some guests may have a phobia of dogs due to a past incident that you are unaware of. Suddenly, a dog jumping becomes an issue. Or it may have been a problem in your household for a longer time - you come home tired after a long day and you are greeted with a jack-in-the-box dog, jumping all over you (and sometimes peeing as a bonus). We break down this behaviour for all dog owners and give you practical tips.
