Why I my dog calm around me but when other people try to play with him he starts jumping and being crazy?

I play with him all the time and I one else will because he acts crazy arou d them. I am literally the only person who ever sees him because everyone else hats him. It's so frustrating because he's really good Dan sweet with just me but if my mom or dad try to play with him he acts crazy. I am the only one who ever plays with him because of this. He hurts people when he jumps on them because he's a huge dog but he thinks he's like a little lap dog or something because he will sit in my lap. And today he took my cousins shoe and wouldn't give it to me and made me chase him around the yard. He really is a good dog. I just don't know why he can't be good for other people.

    Sounds like you need to take him to some obediance classes. He probably respects you as the leader of his mini pack and so is less rough during play with you. But Jumping up is not acceptable EVER. It is dangerous when the dog gets older and needs to be nipped in the bud asap. It is also possible that doggy is not being corrected when he jumps on others like you correct him. For instance, when he jumped on you as a pup i'm sure you did somethign (be it kneeing him in the chest or a tap on the head or making a noise) It is highly probable that the people who are playign with him are NOT reacting in a manner that he realizes means NO.

    I am not sure how to explain his better but you can try to fix it by: before friends start playing/are introduced to the dog try to give them a doggy run through. Talk about what is acceptable for doggy to do and what is not. Also be sure to talk about how to disipline doggy (for instance do you have a "no" noise or are you someoen who disiplines differently?). Consistancy is VERY key to training dogs and because of this everyone that interacts with the dog needs to know what the dog is being taught/disipline methods.

    Another thing that i think you need to take into deep consideration is HOW you are playing witht he dog. Rough play can cause dogs to get excited which is fine and dandy but it also encourages things like jumping and nipping if not done properly. One fantastic wasy to train jumping out of a dog is to get a empty 2 liter bottle and hide it behind your back. When the dog jumps simply bop dog on the head fairly hard. this does NOT hurt the dog (try to bop yourself with it; it truly just bounces off your head and doesn't hurt) but it DOES make a very loud sudden noise which startles the dog :3 Don't forget to hide the bottle after you bop! This makes the dog think that it just magically happens when they jump; so no jumping! I did this once or twice to my dog and he never has really jumped again! Others have had good luck with it as well.

    I would very very highly reccomend you take him to a basic obediance/puppy class. It would not only help you to train basic commands but also help to socialize the dog.

    Source(s): I would reccomend trying the puppies/training for dummies books. It is educational and a great source for training and tips. I still reference it and my dog is 9 lol

    Huskies are paintings puppies, so sure, as already acknowledged, allow him run every time you'll, perhaps throw the ball/stick additional or over an predicament, however he demands a every day determine. Also acknowledged is reduce your voice & sound such as you imply it, you are the alpha puppy (you understand what I imply, lol) you are the chief of the %. Have a few quiet time with ya dawg, allow him lie by way of your ft at the same time you learn and so forth. (sure, it is been acknowledged,lol). Hold a snack for your hand & handiest gift him whilst he lies down at the same time you again away. Good success sister.
