I remember seeing a thread on this a few months back but can't find it.  Bella (7mo GSP) is training great on birds.  Great recall, whoa, range is getting better, scenting birds, etc.

Where I am struggling is when we're out of the field.  She jumps up on everyone except my wife and I, jumps on the couch if we don't keep an eye on her, and is overly energetic around other dogs.

My issue is young kids and smaller dogs.  She can easily knock a young kid down if I don't hold her back, and she plays too rough with smaller dogs.  She almost boxes them with her pays, it is funny to watch but I need to stop it.

How do I teach her to not jump, I wouldn't mind teaching her to lay down while I'm at it.  Second, we make her get off the couch when she jumps up but 10 min later she's back on it.  Any suggestions.  Third, I can whoa her when another dog is around.  I know it's tough on her b/c I see her almost shaking with excitement.  She stays until I release her but then she pounces almost.  I don't want to be the guy yelling at his dog all the time when other dogs are around, any help is appreciated.

Just keep up with what you are doing and get her to places with more dogs.  I would suggest an obedience class so she is working and around dogs and people.  You have to be consistent and tell them off every time.  Anticipate the jumping and intercede with a sit or down before it happens. Be sure and reward the good behavior too.  I start teaching off to my crew from day one.  Even as puppies at 8 weeks old I do not allow them to jump on anyone no matter how cute it may be.  They will get it, but it will take time. 

If you know someone is coming over, put your dog on a leash so you have control or put them in the crate until the initial excitement is over.  If you know they are going to be around another dog or kids again put them on a leash so you are in control.   You can teach a GSP not to jump on people or animals, but it takes work and consistency.  Also, do not make exceptions, they never get to jump up on anyone.  Later once they know the no jumping you may be able to teach a jump on command.  I teach mine hugs and kisses and they will put their paws on my shoulders and give me a kiss, but only when they are invited.

Good luck and keep up the good work.

Personally I try NOT to limit normal play like this.  Kids need to learn that sometimes in life they will get knocked down so they can learn to get up.  No blood, no broken bones, no foul.

As for the rest, just teach "No" and you can solve all of it.

Think about it, teach a dog "Here", "Fetch", "Whoa" and "NO", and you have just taken care of 90% of what a hunting or companion dog ever needs to be taught.  The rest for the most part should come naturally, or with exposure in the field.

I don't worry so much about lawsuits, but I do have elderly parents and if any of my dogs jumped on them unexpectedly the dogs could hurt them.  So, my dogs have learned that it is ok to rough house and play only when invited to do so.  This also is good when they are around small children.  Same issue.  My dogs love the play game and we do it regularly, but on my terms, not theirs.  I also use play as a reward when training.  Works great.  Also really improves the focus of the dogs.

Glad you have seen an improvement.  Age/maturity helps too.
