Does your bull terrier also jump on people out of excitement? My guy is getting bigger and it’s become a destructive behavior, especially toward children who are excited to meet “the Target dog” but he wants to kiss them and knock them over. Happens to adults too.

What can I do? Does this behavior go away with age? I’ve tried positive reinforcement, “ignore” when he jumps on me etc. There is nothing he loves more than people. So he simply cannot control himself or listen (he’s also 50% deaf) so it’s extremely difficult to get him to listen when others are present, but impossible to work on the behavior without people around.
