Leggiest Poodle puppy ever has no respect for any sort of boundary. This is probably because he spends most of his time bouncing. Our hall gate is tall and, aside from one time where he managed to get a foothold on the little cat door, he thus cannot get over. The standard gate that blocks off the cat area is no issue and the gate that blocks the dining room off, which is even shorter, is constantly being knocked over. Since it is screwed to the wall, this is problematic. That is the only gate that stretched 79 or so inches, so getting a taller gate is not an option. The other dogs, save for Newt, can all jump it if they chose to, but they all came installed with respect for boundaries, it seems. (except Nog, who can slip through everything)
Is there a way to teach him to teach them not to jump gates/slam into them with all of your might? I do reward him if I see him waiting on the other side of the gate without jumping, but that does not seem to be helping.
I know their breeder used ex-pens and such, so gate type things are not a foreign concept, lol.
Thanks for any ideas
