When your dog constantly jumps up on people, they feel uneasy and annoyed. Want to stop your dog from jumping up to people? Learn how to train them.

You are probably annoyed when your dog starts jumping up on you. Guess what, so is anyone who comes to visit. This behavior may have been cute when your dog was a puppy; but, as he has gotten older, it is nothing short of a nuisance.

Imagine you just put on clean and neatly pressed clothes and you dog jumps all over you.

Elderly people or small children risk being knocked over by your dog if the dog jumps up on them.

A dog leaping up on humans is a sign that they are excited that they are happy to see you.

Taking control the situation may be why your dog jumps up on people.But it is more likely that he does it to get your attention.

Your dog does not know that jumping on people is not okay. It is your job to teach the dog just that.

Yourself and anyone else who comes into contact with your dog has to be consistent with sending the same message: he will not get what he wants by behaving badly. Hitting or punishing a dog is not going to work.

At the first sign of jumping, turn away from your dog. Don't say anything or make eye contact with the dog. This lets the dog know that they will get nothing from you.

Wait until the behavior has stopped before giving your dog affection. This will teach him that if he does not jump, he is more likely to get your attention.

You can also practice alternate behavior training. When your dog starts jumping, tell him to sit. This gives him other things to do.

Teaching your dog not to jump is usually a fairly easy task. Remain determined to solve the issue. Use one of the two methods we have discussed. If you do, you will definitely be on the right track towards correcting the inappropriate behavior.
