Jumping Dog

A dog who jumps on people either craves attention. or he is making it clear that he is in control.

How do you stop dog jumping?

You can usually solve the problem by blocking the dog's access to the person he wants to see until he calms down.

At other times, you need to take the dog out of the room again and again... again and again... until you achieve your goal.

He will get the idea. Being calm brings reward. Jumping dog does not.

Welcome Home by a Jumping Dog!

Welcome home!

That's what you think your wildly jumping dog is saying. But in reality, why does your dog do this?

Dog jumping is an excited dog behavior. Sorry, it's not a sign that your dog really missed you.

Dog jumping is not a desired wild dog behavior, either. Imagine your nice business suit getting ripped by your excited dog's claws.

Or maybe your friend has brought her baby over, and the dog knocks the little one down.

What if the dog jumping trips you up and you break an arm or leg? That's happened to a friend of mine, and she almost didn't walk again. It was a year and a half before she could go upstairs on two feet in her own home.

Cute behaviors are ones that do not harm anyone. But what is cute about an accident waiting to happen?

Get help to stop any jumping dog behavior. Your family and friends will thank you for it. And you can come home safely and happily to an affectionate, respectful pet!
