Your dog most likely jumps up on people because he was encourage to do that when he was a puppy. However, this behavior isn’t fun for anyone now that your dog is fully grown. Whenever your dog starts to jump up on you, turn around quickly and without a fuss so he drops to the floor. Resist yelling at your dog or punishing him while he is learning. Praise him and give him a food treat when all four feet are on the ground. Encourage all household members and trusted friends to follow this simple procedure at all times. Anticipate when your dog may jump up and insist that he sit by you instead. If your dog is sitting quietly at your side, he can’t be behaving inappropriately. Be patient and soon your dog will understand that jumping up is not allowed. For more information, contact your vet Heath, TX.
