Hi there! We just adopted Juno about 3 weeks ago. She is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix who is as sweet as can be. She is fully house trained and smart as a whip and grasping early training commands pretty easily. One of our only current hurdles is that we are still doing desensitization with her and our resident cat, but that's not what I'm looking for guidance on today.
Juno keeps punching my husband in the dick. I work from home, so she knows me very well and only jumps when over excited. My husband however does not and he works in the office. When he comes home she is so excited to see him that she jumps on him. I've been trying to correct it as it happens but it's the one thing we can't nail down. Unfortunately, she is at the perfect height where her paws go right for his crotch every single time while jumping. If he turns to the side in anticipation of her jumping, she will whip around to get to his front. Today, she was perfectly fine, watching him happily after he gave her a good neck scratch, and suddenly she went full Muhammad Ali on the family jewels causing him to spill his coffee. This will happen even if he is standing around dead silent, or if he's just normally walking around. And it's always the dick.
We have tried ignoring her, telling her "down", telling her to sit before getting attention, etc. But she can't stop dick punching. She doesn't bark at the door or go crazy when he arrives home so it's not like he over excites her when he gets home. It's usually just him being around. Even hours later. She also likes to stick her nose in our crotches (totally normal, annoying but not a problem) because she is quite literally at perfect height to just go and do that.
My husband is tired of getting Popeye'd by the pooch. What other things can we try to prevent this from happening?
He clearly deserves it!
