Hi Michael! Your dog looks so well-behaved. I've been having trouble getting Max to stop jumping on guests when they come over. Any tips?
嗨，迈克尔！你的狗看起来好乖巧。我一直都很难让Max停止在客人来的时候扑人。你有什么好建议吗？
Hey Sarah! Oh, the jumping issue. That's a common one. For Buster, what really helped was teaching him to 'sit' when someone approached. We'd practice with treats.
嗨，莎拉！哦，扑人的问题。这很常见。对巴斯特来说，真正有帮助的是教它在有人靠近时'坐下'。我们会用零食练习。
That's a good idea! So you basically rewarded him for not jumping, by sitting instead?
这是个好主意！所以你基本上是通过让他坐下而不是扑人来奖励他？
Exactly. And consistency is key. Every time, without fail, ask for a sit. Guests need to be on board too – no petting until the dog sits. It took a while, but it worked wonders.
没错。而且持之以恒是关键。每一次，无一例外地要求它坐下。客人也需要配合——狗坐下之前都不要抚摸它。这花了一段时间，但效果非常好。
Consistency... that's where I probably fall short sometimes. I'll definitely try that with Max. Thanks so much for the advice!
持之以恒……我可能有时就在这一点上做得不够。我一定会和Max尝试的。非常感谢你的建议！
No problem! Pet care can be tricky. Let me know how it goes. And if you ever need a recommendation for good dog treats, I've got some winners.
不客气！宠物护理可能很棘手。告诉我进展如何。如果你需要好的狗零食推荐，我这儿有几个不错的。
I will! Thanks again, Michael.
我会的！再次感谢你，迈克尔。
