[jules]

Thanks to you or all your help concerning sasha, we know the reason why she is jumping, to get to other dogs, even though she plays a lot with our other dog or just wants to say "hello" to the neighbours when they are in the garden, or even to say hi to other people just walking past, as she is a staff and some people have given this breed a bad name. We have since we first got her, made sure she grew up to me sociable, i guess we have made her too friendly, she just loves people, and other dogs, cats anything and anyone, she will even look back at people in town whilst on the lead as if to say" why have you walked past me without saying hello?"

we cannot build the fence up any higher than we have as it is not allowed and we have taken the lower branches off the tree so she can no longer climb it to get into other peoples gardens, so we need to find a way to stop her from wanting to say hello all the time, we do try and keep her entertained whilst she is in the garden, to attract her attention but as soon as she hears a neighbour/dog in another garden she is off like a greyhound!

is this usual for a staff to jump so high? how can we stop her from doing this? as we cannot be in the garden with her all the time
