Need help with jumping

Thanks again. I'll keep you posted.

I have seen that working dogs (you mentioned Aussie Cattle) need a job or purpose in life. My brother had a problem with his Australian Shepherd dog trying to herd the family (dragged me by my skirt) but when they started playing frisbee the dog felt like it found its place in life.
Besides training the dog not to jump, please give it an outlet for its energy like playing ball, taking walks or playing frisbee. That is also positive attention as well as burning of energy.

I'm going to get a few toys before I get her next week. I want to keep her busy. I just hate being gone so many hours a day (8 1/2) when I'm at work. I just hope she behaves and doesn't chew up anything. I'll keep her confined to the kitchen while I'm gone. She'll have her bed, food and water and toys to keep her busy. Hopefully, it'll be getting warmer out soon and I'll have her outside playing. I'll take her for walks too. Use some penned-up energy. Thanks for the advice. I'll do that.
