He still jumps, but does not jump on people now. He sort of hops straight up in the air, and he gets 4-5 feet off the ground, which puts his head higher than the average professional basketball player. Sort of startling.
You work with them and they get better.

She is coming along nicely, albeit slowly. After having her a little over 2 years we finally feel like she is bonding, like she finally gets we are her humans. Not sure what her deal was before we adopted her, she would gladly walk away with any stranger and never look back at us and probably never miss us either.
My wife has this wild hair now, she wants to rescue an older dog, we are being vetted right now by a rescue who has a 8 year old dog (I have no idea if its a mutt or a breed) the prior owners were in their 90's and had to go into a home, the could could not come.
We hope to meet the dog (again I am kind of out of the loop here) this week and hope to adopt Friday.
My wife wants to keep giving great lives to older dogs. I barely recovered my putting down my Lab, not sure what I think of this to be honest. I agree with my wife it is a great thing to do, just not sure of I am going to enjoy this. I means I will enjoy the dog immensely. The saying goodbye sucks.
