TWO MORE DAYS.
My wife is the BIGGEST Harry Potter fan and she is in full Hogwarts mode. She is re-reading all the books and watching the movies. I’ve enjoyed the series but nothing like her. I guess I am just your everyday average muggle.
Anyway…
…I got a call from a nice lady not too long ago about her dog’s jumping problem.
She was very concerned because everything she had tried did not work. It was a big problem because her elderly aunt came over every week and she was afraid her dog was going to hurt her.
I pulled out my bag of tricks and she was right.
Her dog loved to jump and everything we tried did not work. That’s when I decided to do what I call the “Cha Cha” technique.
You see, when a dog jumps the person being jumped on will push and back away.
The “Cha Cha” is done by doing a quick Cha Cha step into the dog.
To do this correctly you need to keep your arms at your side and use your body to walk into the dog as the dog moves towards you.
As you can imagine timing is everything.
Your friends will think you are a little wacky as you do Ricky Ricardo style dance steps with your dog, but it is very effective.
Done correctly, it’s like waving a magic wand that stops jumping.
All the best,
Eric
