One of my foster dogs had a real problem with jumping on people. I broke him
of it in three weeks. When he would jump up I would back quickly away so he
could not make contact with me. I would then wait for his front paws to hit
the ground and then would grab him by the scruff of his neck, would give him
a firm shake, and would growl at him ( speaking very harshly in a low tone
of voice). This worked with Rocky, my foster dog. Maybe it would work with
Rosie.
