Why your dog jumps on you

veterinarian Marion, IA

You have a dog in your life who tends to jump on you from time to time. Why does she do this?

 

Your dog loves you and wants all the attention she can get from you. This means that she is willing to go out of her way to get to your eye level, where she knows she will capture your attention. Jumping is the best way she knows how to do this, so she will try to get into your line of sight to command your entire focus. This is why she is more likely to jump when you first arrive home, or after you’ve been apart for a little while. Luckily, there are ways for you to teach her that there are better methods of getting your attention. For additional information, please contact your local veterinarian Marion, IA.
