9 Ways To Teach Your Dog Not To Jump 1 Discourage the behavior early You may think it is sweet when your puppy greets you by jumping on you Dogs think that when they jump on someone they are most likely to be picked up and played with It is best to discourage this kind of behavior as early as possible This can be done by ignoring your dog when it jumps on you Practice the no talk no touch no eye contact rule 2 Train your dog not to jump when you arrive home When you arrive home and your dog starts jumping on you immediately walk away and close the door Wait about one minute and then walk back in to greet your dog If he still jumps on you walk away again and close the door Keep doing this until he stops jumping 3 Give Your Dog a special Toy Some dogs get too excited when greeting someone that it makes it difficult to calm them down In this situation even a redirecting sit command may not work If this sounds like your dog give it a toy to hold instead Some dogs stop jumping when they have something like a stuffed toy in their mouth Keep the toy by your front door and give it to your dog when guests arrive 4 Get Down on the Dog s Level Some dogs jump because they like to sniff a person's face You can let your dog greet you by lowering yourself to the dog s level So kneel down when you want to say Hi to a dog Make sure not to bend over the top of the dog as it can be threatening to the dog and it may put you at risk of a facial injury 5 Use a sit command The 'sit' command is a perfect distraction technique to redirect your dog's attention from jumping up When your dog jumps up on you turn your back to her and ask her to sit Make sure to immediately reward her when she sits 6 Exercise Some dogs don't get enough exercise Lack of exercise can set dogs up for extreme reactions when anything unusual happens To stop your dog from jumping increase its exercise Be sure to check with your vet as too much exercise can harm your dog 7 Train Your Dog To Stop Jumping On Strangers While On A Leash When you take your dog for a walk and it starts to jump on strangers back away from the leash When the dog stops walk toward the leash Repeat these steps until your dog learns not to jump on random people 8 Train Your Dog to Not Jump at the Door when going outside When you want to take your dog for a walk and it starts jumping on the door back away a few feet When the dog stops jumping move forward Keep doing this until he stops Do not open the door when your dog is jumping 9 Anti-anxiety wrap A dog anti-anxiety wrap gently applies pressure in your dog's body and it calms down your dog in a noninvasive manner For the most part the vest can stop the jumping because it lowers arousal levels quickly Background music Youtube Audio Library
