How To Train A Dog Not To Jump On You

Introduction

If your dog jumps on people, you might want to try to train them not to. You can do this by giving them a command or cue for when they jump up on someone. Start by using the same command or cue each time your dog jumps up until it gets the hang of it. You can also make sure that your dog is not jumping on you by using gentle training methods (not physical punishment). If you want your dog not to jump, keep practicing with them until they get the hang of it.

It can be scary when a dog jumps up on you, especially if you don’t know them.

We can all agree that it can be scary when a dog jumps up on you, especially if you don’t know them. Some dogs are easily startled by the sound of their own name and will jump in surprise. Other dogs may be hoping for a game of catch or a treat. Whatever the reason, jumping is not an appropriate way for a dog to interact with people, especially strangers or those unfamiliar with their breed’s behavior.

When it comes to training your pup not to jump on you, remember that this is something they have done before and will likely do again so patience is key!

Every time your dog jumps on someone, it’s reinforcing the behavior.

Dogs are social animals, pack animals and curious by nature. They learn from other dogs and from their owners, who are likely to reinforce jumping as a reward for attention-seeking behavior (you petting them when they jump on you). Dogs also learn from their environment—if jumping gets results in certain situations (like getting attention), why wouldn’t they do it? And finally, dogs learn from mistakes or successes—if they don’t get caught jumping up on people at home, they’ll probably keep doing it there!

When your dog jumps, turn around and walk away.

When your dog jumps on you, turn around and walk away. If you are in the middle of a conversation, simply walk away from the person.

If you are in the middle of a dog training session, just end it by walking away without explanation.

If you’re doing something else important when this happens, just get up and leave without saying goodbye to anyone or anything else–your family pet included!

If your dog still jumps on people, try putting it in a sit or down position first.

If your dog still jumps on people, try putting it in a sit or down position first. The best position for training a dog not to jump on you is sitting. When your dog is sitting, you can ask it to stay, and if someone enters the room, you can ask your pup to wait until they are passed before getting up and greeting them with a happy wag of the tail instead of an exuberant leap into their arms. In the case that the person who comes over is someone who is likely to be bothered by dogs—like those with allergies or children who are easily frightened—then having them greet from behind some kind of barrier such as furniture will also help keep everyone safe while still allowing him/her enough freedom to get excited when greeting another person.

For example: “Here boy! Come here and sit down! Good boy! Stay there until I tell you otherwise…I’m going over here now so that I don’t hurt myself on this couch (or chair). Okay now go say hello!”

Keep practicing with your dog until they get the hang of greeting people without jumping up.

The more you practice with your dog, the more they’ll understand what you want from them.

Practice in a variety of situations. When working on greeting people without jumping up, it’s important to practice in different places with different people and dogs around, so that your dog learns that no matter who or where they are, the rules remain the same.
Use all sorts of distractions. If your dog is easily distracted or easily distracted by other dogs (or whatever else), try practicing when there are other things going on around you—like traffic noise or kids running around—so that she learns to ignore them while also learning not to jump up on people.
Try using different rewards at first. You can try using treats or toys as rewards for good behavior rather than attention from you; once she understands how this works, slowly phase out the rewards themselves over time until she doesn’t need them anymore!

Dogs who learn not to jump are less likely to harm themselves or others.

In addition to the physical toll jumping can take on your dog’s body, jumping can also cause serious injury to your dog or other people and animals. Not only could you get scratched or bitten by your own pet, but if you’re walking with him and another person or animal comes along, he might accidentally knock them over as he leaps towards them. If this happens while you’re walking with small children in tow (or even just young kids), it could cause a lot of chaos and damage!
