    If you want to break a dog’s habbit of jumping up, pawing at you, or getting overly excited at your return: ignore them. Do not pet them when you walk in the door. Do not give them any form of validation for several minutes, perhaps after they lay down.

    Why is this advice upvoted? The only thing you create with ignoring is trust issues. If you want to break this habit, direct the energy to something else, like fetching a toy or another behaviour and reward it. Like you train anything else.
