How Do You Keep a Jack from
Shedding So Much?

I just got a Jack today from someone who said they couldn't keep him because they couldn't give him enough attention. They also had another dog. I didn't know that but I'm sure he's lonesome for the other dog. He's been pretty good except for jumping on me sitting or standing. Could this be the cause of his behavior? I had no idea Jacks had such scruffy hair. It's stiff and sticks on my clothes and furniture. Is there any solution for this?

The people we got him from said he was trained professionally but you wouldn't know it. He doesn't want to sit or get down when he's on your lap or my furniture. Is this where the balance of wills starts with them? He seems very sweet but I can't stand hair all over the place.

Has anyone any suggestions for his pig style hair? lol.

Thanks to anyone that can answer my questions.
