How to Stop Your Dog from Jumping Up On You and Others

Being a dog parent there are going to be problems that come up with your puppy or dog. Depending on whether you are a new or seasoned dog parent could make you feel confident or worried that new problem will never go away. One of the most common problems I see or hear is about your puppy or dog jumping on you or other people.

The humiliation as well as the many apologizes you say over again and again still do not fix the problem and make you feel trapped. Sure your puppy or dog is cute and friendly but why are they so rude and when will it stop? Maybe you think it is a phase they will outgrow.

As this jumping continues not only on you but people you see on walks or in your home the dread and stress you feel will only increase. I wanted to write this blog post to give you easy ways to stop this undesirable behavior and how you as well as others in your life can help to stop the jumping. I want you to have the confidence as well as how to share it with others because you are not alone in your desire to end the jumping.

If you have a puppy or dog who started jumping in the beginning of your new life together it may have seemed cute as it feels like attention to you. However, your dog is excited and thinks his/her jumyour attention is a good thing to do.

Unfortunately, you have reinforced this behavior by talking, touching, or letting he/she seek your attention this way. You keep giving the same reaction which tells your puppy or dog that what he/she is doing is okay to do. Recognizing what you are doing as a dog parent is the first step to stopping the jumping.

For example my mother-in-law has a cute fox terrier puppy who has loads of energy and loves to jump up to get attention. He may be a smaller breed he can still knock over my kids and mother-in-law. That is why I am working on the dog jumping with him now rather then letting it continue on.

The sooner the jumping is stopped with all of us the better it will be when people come over. Remember stopping dog jumping is a process and you cannot expect it to be fixed overnight.

Things to do to avoid jumping in your home

• Having your dog crate trained is a great way to give them a safe place to go when company is over. Crate training your dog will take some time but feeding or giving a dog toy in the crate will start the process and make it a positive one.
• Another option besides the crate is leaving them in a secured room like your bedroom. I would make sure to remove anything that your dog or puppy could chew on and give them a dog toy.
• Being calm and not greeting your dog or puppy in an excited way, as well as not giving attention to he/she will help to change the interaction between you and your dog or puppy.
• Being calm and not greeting your dog or puppy in an excited way, as well as not giving attention to he/she will help to change the interaction between you and your dog or puppy.
• Practice coming in the house everyday when you have time will give you and your dog the chance and time to train together and help make the jumping become less frequent. Being in a hurry or getting frustrated which we can all feel some days will not help with this problem.
• Working on a sit or down are other behaviors you want your dog or puppy to really know. When they master these cues then he/she will know giving a sit or down will lead to attention as well as a treat rather then jumping.

Things to do on Walks

• You can always say no to someone coming to say hello to your dog or puppy. As dog parents we think our dog or puppy must say hello to everyone but that is not true especially if your dog or puppy is too excited and will jump up.
• Crossing the street is a great way to avoid an interaction with strangers that will not go well and it will also tell other dog owners/people you are not interested in saying hello. Plus it teaches your dog or puppy they do not have to say hello to everyone.
• Work on your dog or puppy doing a sit or down and if they cannot hold it then a person cannot approach you. This one will take some time and can be worked on in your home as well.
• These three ways will help you choose who comes to you as well as what you can do to take back control and not experience the jumping that keeps happening. Choose the one you are more likely to incorporate in your daily life.
