Teaching your dog not to jump on you

broken image

Your dog loves to be with you as often as she can be and you know that this is a good thing. However, she has some habits you wish she didn’t, like jumping on you in order to get your attention.

To help her stop this, you will need to make sure you are offering your pet plenty of love and attention throughout the day. When she jumps on you, understand that she is trying to get to your eye level to capture your entire focus. Getting down to her level can help prevent her from jumping every now and then. You can also take the time to teach her that jumping won’t have the desired result. This will involve ignoring her when she jumps and then showering her with attention when all four of her paws are back on the ground.
