how do i stop dogs jumping up the windows

[janetsflower]

Hi there, I have 3 dogs (2 x GSP & 1 Westie) all of whom have taken to jumping up my windows when i put them in the garden (i have floor to ceiling windows right the way along the garden side of my house) and consequently they leave big muddy footprints all over the windows and i am having to clean them on a daily basis which is no fun believe me. My dogs don't jump up us or up the windows when we are outside with them and tell them not to but when we are in the house and they are outside they do it constantly, I know its because they want to come back in but they have to go out to do what they have to do and on nice days i doesn't doi them any harm to be out there, and i need them out when imop the floors inside that they are also responsible for muddying!!. Any tips or advice on how to stop this would be greatly appreciated because i can't think of a way to stop them when i am not outside with them to tell them. Hope this is all as clear as mud (bit like my windows) and i realy apprciate any suggestions. Thank you

Could yu put up a small picket or trellis like fence a foot or so in front of the windows, maybe in front of a flower bed? Or plant some shrubs so they can't get near. Or fence them off a bit of the garden you can turn them out into.
