Your dog most likely jumps up on people because he was encouraged to do so while he was a puppy. However, jumping up is not fun at all now that your dog is fully grown. Thus you need to deter him from jumping up and give him something more appropriate to do. Whenever your dog starts to jump up on you, turn around quickly so that he falls to the floor. Don’t make a fuss or punish him but when all four feet are on the floor, give him a food treat and lots of praise. Encourage family members and trusted guests to follow this procedure too. Try to anticipate when your dog might jump up and insist that he sit by you. If he is sitting quietly by your side, he can’t be jumping up on people. Soon your dog will learn that jumping up is not allowed. Learn more from your animal hospital Dallas, GA.
