After inviting Grandmother to the house, she enters. Your dog joyfully bounds up on her, causing her to lose her balance and crack her head on the wall. Careful there, Grandma!
A severe illustration? I guess. Something more likely?
You're all dressed up and ready to go for dinner at your favourite restaurant. The dog needs to pee so it's time for a quick walk. She accidentally walks through some mud on the way back to the house. Before you get a chance to wipe her paws off, she decides that it's playtime and proceeds to leap all over you, getting your pants FILTHY. Change time!! Wheee!!
A bit chancy for delicate grandma? Yup. Awkward and untimely for you? Probably. Maybe your dog jumps on people.
It's a problem that has some easy solutions.
There are simple remedies available, in this article!
ALL ABOUT 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 you give your dog positive or negative attention, you're showing him that his behaviour is OK. A few simple yet highly effective methods are available to change the way your dog acts.
TURN AWAY:
Turn your back to your dog when she gets ready to jump on you. Your pooch thinks that this is the best way to get your attention. Completely ignore her, and don't make eye contact until she settles down and stops jumping. Give her lots of praise and pettings when she stops jumping. This will help her to link the idea that she can get excellent quality attention by NOT jumping on people.
SUBSTITUTION TIME?
Alternatively, you can get your dog to do something else when he jumps up. For example, you could give him the Sit command. Remember to give him a lot of praise when he responds to the command properly. Your dog will quickly begin to understand that jumping on you is unproductive, while following your commands gets him plenty or praise, rewards, and pettings.
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:
* Dogs jump up on you to express their love for you
* If you give them positive or negative attention, you're reinforcing their behaviour
2 SOLUTIONS:
* Turn away when he jumps
* Give a command: Sit, Go to your place
Remember, everyone loves a courteous dog.
