This is a serious question: What's the most effective, yet socially
acceptable way to get SOMEONE ELSE'S dog to stop jumping on you, if the
someone else is a person you'd like to speak to again in the future, even
though they're sort of clueless dolts when it comes to their dog?


Knuckles on the forehead or a kick in the nuts will usually work, along
with a nice,
loud, "NO!"

Forehead, as in an old-fashioned noogie? :-)
