If you are interested in learning how to stop a dog jumping, then you should read this article. Specially we are going to talk about why your dog jumps up at you, tips on helping you to correct this behavior, and a simple step-by-step system you can use to fix this problem for good.

Firstly, I’m going to talk about reasons why your dog is jumping up on people. Most dogs will jump up at people to greet them, especially if they recognise the person. This behavior can also be your dogs way of showing his dominance, or perhaps he simply wants some more attention from you.

There are a few ways to correct this behavior. If you have a puppy, you should correct this behavior as soon as possible because it will be much harder to correct when it is developed into a constant habit.

Do not punish or hit your dog  for jumping up on people, because there are other ways to correcting it, and this will only encourage your dog to do it again because he is getting attention. You should remember that any attention is good attention to your dog. You should always reward your dog for good behavior.

When it comes to correcting this jumping problem, you should use a one word command like “down” which is simple for you to remember for when he does it again. Also you should say this command in a strong, dominant voice to show him who’s the pack leader.

Here is an easy 3 step system you can turn to whenever you need to stop your dog from jumping up at you or other people.

Step 1 – When your dog starts to jump up, use a short command like “down” in a commanding tone of voice.

Step 2 – turn away from your dog to show him your displeasure. He will learn that you do not wish to be greeted in this way.

Step 3 – reward him with lots of praise when you have stopped your dog jumping.

Always remember to give your dog plenty of attention whenever he is behaving in a way in which you like. Also remember to use this step-by-step system whenever you want to stop your dog from jumping.

In conclusion, this guide has shown you why your dog tries to jump on you, some powerful and easy to follow tips for fixing this behavior, and a simple step by step you can use to stop your dog from jumping on you. Now that you have finished reading this guide, you should have a better understanding of what you can do to stop your dog from jumping up at you.
