I found the most effective approach is to completely ignore them when they do it, turning your back and folding your arms. It hurts to get leapt on, but theysoon realise it's not getting them anywhere to jump, and most seem to hate being ignored more than anything else. Most dogs will see any kind of attention as a reward, whether it's a hard push or a pet. Stepping on toes can get dangerous as unless you just tap onthem with yourheel inthe air, it's easy to break one. Any kind of physical punishment doesn't seem to be effective on a bloodhound either. Despite their size and build, they're pretty sensitive.
