how can I stop my dog doing this?

thats normal for dogs. they just like to go up and sniff other dogs butts. but if you want him to be good just bring a spray bottle wit water and spray him and his face when he acts up. if he doesnt like it keep doin it everytime he jumps up. eventually he’ll stop.

Jumping up and pulling on the leash are habits that you should try to stop your dog from doing when they are a puppy. It is very important to train him now, before he learns bad habits and so it will be easier for him to learn good ones (like sit or lie down). Puppy training classes are a good idea, the trainers there can show you techniques to train him and then you can learn how to teach him and train him at home. Good luck, hope I helped!

Do you have him where he’ll sit on command? If you do, when you see another dog coming…you put him in a sit…and make stay there, until that dog passes. You might need a prong collar if he’s very strong, and you aren’t. Remember to put him into the sit, lift UP, don’t pull…the strongest part of a dog is the chest and neck, and it’s instictive to pull forward when you pull back.

I highly doubt a Labrador would be even slighly affected by a spry bottle…LOL…they’re made for the water…he’d probably LOVE IT.

You are in command, and therefore the leader. The first time will feel very frustrating…if you have to, put him in a sit with his back to the dog coming…Don’t worry what others may think…concentrate on the fact that this is a training exercise.

well if you haven’t seen a Victoria Stillwell (It’s Me Or The Dog) episode, than you could try some chicken and walk him around dogs and distract him with the chicken. Once he has that down let him see the dog and command him to sit or stay. When he does what you told him to do give him a piece of cold chicken as a award. Once he gets into that habit he’ll expect treats and be on his best behavior. After a while you could substitute the chicken with a favorite treat that your dog likes or dry treats
