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
