How to Stop Your Dog From Jumping Up On People

Slide 2: 

First and foremost, dogs are extremely social animals. Most of the time, they’re jumping to greet the person. Dogs Jump for Different Reasons

Slide 3: 

The second reason your dog may jump is to establish social dominance. This is common in dogs that have aggressive tendencies. Hopefully, this isn’t the case for you. Dogs Jump for Different Reasons

Slide 5: 

You need to teach your dog that all greeting needs to be done with all four of his paws on the ground. The most important part of this strategy is having everyone who comes into contact with the dog be consistent with the training. The Solution…

Slide 6: 

When your dog jumps up on you, simply take hold of his paws and squeeze them. You don’t have to crush them. Just gently squeeze them with a firm grip. The idea here isn’t to hurt your dog. It’s to make him feel vulnerable. The Technique

Slide 7: 

Dogs don’t enjoy having their paws held for an extended period of time. They’re very sensitive about having their paws exposed, touched or held out of their control. After a few seconds of holding your dog’s paws, he’ll begin to pull away. The Technique

Slide 8: 

IMPORTANT: You need to hold on to your dog’s paws until he begins to struggle away. Don’t just touch his paws and let go (he’ll think you’re playing with him). You need to make sure he’s uncomfortable and struggling to get his paws back.

Slide 9: 

While he’s struggling, you want to use the command “OFF”. Be stern with your tone. Let him know with your voice that this is disapproved behavior. After doing this CONSISTENTLY for a couple of weeks, your dog will definitely get the message. The Technique
