How to Handle Jumping in Your Dog


 
Does your dog have the bad habit of jumping? This is a common thing in dogs especially the smaller breeds that feel they need to jump in order to be at the same height as you. So how can you get your dog to stop jumping especially when he meets new people? If your dog likes to jump on you when you come into the door or when you introduce someone new then tell him down and push him away. Tell that to your guests so they can do the same. Your dog needs consistency and he needs the commands to come from everyone. If your dog doesn’t stop jumping then you may need to lock him in his crate or a room for ‘time out’. When you come home to your dog only pet him on the head or ask to shake his hand. If he jumps just keep walking and don’t acknowledge him right away. Talk to your local animal hospital McHenry, IL for more tips.
