Granny gets invited to your house. When she comes in, your dog happily jumps up on her, causing her head to good crack against the wall. Hey, Grandma, be more careful!

A severe illustration? I guess. Something more likely?

You’ve made arrangements to meet friends at your favourite restaurant. You’re out with your dog for a speedy walk, so that she can do her duty. Tramping through a mud puddle, she decides to jump up on you getting mud all over your pants. Grrr! Will changing pants make you late?

Dangerous for grandma? Yes. Inconvenient and annoying for you and your guests? Right. Does your dog jump up on people too much?

It’s a problem that’s easy to fix.

Looking for solutions?

ATTENTION!

Your dog is so keen to see you and be with you when you get home, she jumps up on you. The main reason that dogs jump on people is simply that they’re excited to see you. If you want to break your dog of this habit (and you should) don’t give her any attention when she does this.

When he jumps on you, and you give him positive or negative attention, you reinforce the incorrect behaviour. Avoid giving any reaction at all, in order to quickly change his behaviour. I’ll give you a few simple steps that will work wonders.

TURN YOUR BACK:

Your dog thinks that jumping on you is the best way to get your attention. When your dog gets ready to jump on you, turn your back. Completely ignore her, and don’t even make eye contact until she’s stopped jumping up. Once she settles down, praise her immediately. This will reinforce the idea in her mind that she can get lots of nice attention only when she’s NOT jumping on people.

SUBSTITUTION TIME?

Or instead of turning away, you can give your dog something else to do when they jump up. For instance, commanding them to Sit is a good way to encourage a different behaviour. Be sure to lavish your dog with praise and attention when they complete a command successfully. Soon, your dog will make the association that lunging on you gets them nothing, while sitting gets them plenty of enjoyable attention.

Although lunging at people seems merely annoying, if left unchecked it can develop into a serious dilemma in fully grown dogs, particularly around children and the elderly. Avoid an unfortunate scenario. Be aware that this can be a hazard, and take steps to train your dog properly. Then you’ll be able to enjoy your dog at all times, in all situations.

2 SECRETS:

2 SOLUTIONS:

Remember, a happy dog is a courteous dog.
