Preventing Your Dog from Jumping Up on People


Your dog most likely jumps up on people because he was encouraged to as a puppy. However, now that he is a grown dog, jumping up isn’t fun for people at all. Thus, you need to prevent this behavior and encourage your dog to do something more appropriate. Anytime your dog starts to jump up on you, turn around quickly so that he drops to the ground. Don’t make a fuss and don’t punish him as he learns. Be patient and praise your dog and give him food treats when all four feet are on the ground. Practice this maneuver as often as needed and encourage other family members and trusted guests to help too. Anticipate when your dog will jump up and insist, he sit by you instead. If he is sitting quietly by your side, he can’t be misbehaving. Learn more from your vet clinic Santa Rosa, CA.
