re: How do I get my S.O. to get on the same page w/ me regarding dog discipline?

You don't have to beat on the dog to discipline it

I should have explained it better, I don't 'hit' him like hard or anything. I have always just popped him on the nose when he used to jump on me. He doesn't do it to me anymore.

He is typically very well behaved when I take him places. He lives w/ me so I guess that's a plus. We've been to the vet several times and he's calm there as long as I am near. If I walk outside to take a phone call or something though and he's left w/ her then he'll try to play w/ the other animals and what not.

The whole thing is, is that since he's around me mostly he is usually very well behaved. However, he'll jump on her and her friends because they tell him too and act like they like that and what not. I guess maybe it's just me being annoyed because I don't want him to do that to anyone because it can bother some people.

Just every time I mention it to the ole gal when she complains about him jumping up on her long after she's come over she just says she doesn't want to push him down or pop him on the nose.

May need to check out a shock collar.

ETA: I also agree that a stern no goes a long way. If he's doing something I don't like and I say no across the room he usually stops. He's a great dog and is doing well in his training I think especially for his age. Just wish the girl would be a bit more firm w/ him
