Graeme Hall explains why dogs like to jump up and why, cute as it may be, it needs to be discouraged as soon as possible. The Dogfather helps two listeners whose dogs jump up at people, both in the house and out on walks, while another asks how to stop her German Shepherd jumping up at kitchen surfaces to steal food.
