Actions To Train Your Dog To Avoid Jumping On People

By Hanson Buell

It is a bit obvious that having your K9 jumping on you or your visitors will with time become a headache. You should fix this problem before it goes out of hand. You should therefore try to do the following three things as a remedy.

Step one is to ignore the dog completely. You should not give it the attention it is trying so hard to get. The dog will automatically not like this and will be worried. The more it keeps on jumping the more you should ignore him.

You should instead give the dog an all out showering of attention and care when he is seated down and maintaining calm

If the first style does not work perfectly you should be more aggressive and start using your knee to budge him down when he ties to jump onto you.

These occasional bumps are irritating to the dog and after a while, it acts like a taste of his own medicine. He will resolve to sit calm again and that will lead you to praise again.

If the dog is young, you should use the ankle of your leg to bring him down. You should not kick him hard so as to hurt him. You should only be doing it to instill fear of the master.

The third trick in the book is to keep commanding your dog to sit or stay down. This will only work if you have trained him to do that. You should select a certain spot where the dog should be sitting whenever you have visitors.

Get a family member to help you and the dog practice this technique. It works by him going outside the door and knocking. Once the knock on the door come, command the dog to immediately go to that marked spot and sit. It is not an easy thing to do as he may obey now and disobey the next minute, all you have to do is keep reminding him by guiding him to the space.
