How To Train A Dog To Not Jump On People

Introduction

We all love dogs. However, the one thing that gets most dog owners down is when their dogs jump up on people. It’s not just because of the mess—although there is that, too—but because it can make our canine friends seem like a nuisance instead of a joy. Luckily, teaching your dog to stop jumping up on people isn’t hard at all. With a little patience and firmness, you should be able to train any dog out of this bad habit in no time at all! The best way to accomplish this is by using a combination of positive and negative reinforcement:

Tell the dog to “sit.”

Now that you have a command (sit), it’s time to use it. When the dog is about to jump on someone, say “Sit!” in a loud, commanding voice. The dog should immediately sit down and stay put until you give him permission to move again. If he does not do what you want him to do, firmly repeat yourself: “Sit!”

When he starts to jump up at you, repeat the command.

When your dog starts to jump up at you, repeat the command. He will not stop jumping until he hears your command and understands what it means. This might take time, but if he does not obey the first time, continue to repeat the command until he obeys and then reward him with a treat.

If he does not obey after several attempts, put him in his crate for 15 minutes so that he can think about what he did wrong and learn from it before allowing him out again.

Continue repeating the command until he stops jumping.

Your pooch will start to associate the command with the behavior, and when he does jump, it will be much easier for him to stop. Just keep repeating the command and encouraging him when he does something right. As long as you’re consistent with your training, your dog will eventually get used to not jumping on people.

When teaching a dog not to jump on people, it’s important that you don’t give up if your attempts don’t seem to be working right away. You need patience and persistence in order for this training method to work effectively! If your pooch keeps jumping up at visitors or family members after several days of being told “no” by saying “down” or “off”, then try another approach:

Keep repeating this until the dog obeys your command without fail.

Now that you’ve introduced the command, start repeating it over and over again during your dog’s day. Remember to use the same tone of voice and body language, each time. Your dog will learn faster if you repeat the word/phrase multiple times in a row, rather than giving him/her several minutes of freedom before repeating again.

This might seem like a lot of work at first! But remember: The more often you practice this with your pup, the less effort it will take later on down the road when he needs reminding about his jumping habits.

Every time guests come over, have them practice the same exercise with your dog.

The key to training your dog not to jump on people is consistency and repetition.

So, every time guests come over, have them practice the same exercise with your dog. This will reinforce the behavior in his mind and help him get better at it over time.

If you’re having trouble getting your guests to do this step with you, consider using treats as a reward system (or even just treat-less praise). For example: “Good boy! You remembered not to jump!”

If you encounter a guest who does not want to follow these steps, put him in his crate for the duration of the visit.

If you encounter a guest who does not want to follow these steps, put him in his crate for the duration of the visit. If your dog continues to jump on guests and family members, ask him to sit and give him treats when he obeys. If he doesn’t obey, then put him in his crate.

If your dog jumps on people he doesn’t know or people who don’t want him jumping on them (that includes guests), put him in his crate until they leave.

Make sure all visitors are on board with this and that they understand it is important that they do not give the dog attention when he jumps.

If they refuse to follow this rule, ask them to leave. If they refuse to leave, call the police.

By training a dog consistently, anyone can learn to teach a dog to stop jumping up on people

By training a dog consistently, anyone can learn to teach a dog to stop jumping up on people.

Teach the dog to sit on command by using the clicker or other reward technique of choice.
Once the dog has learned to sit, begin rewarding it for sitting when you say “sit.” If they don’t know how to sit yet, start with training that first. This step may take some time so be patient and stick with it! You will also want to praise them while they are sitting after they have done so correctly so that they know this behavior is what you want them to do in order not just when you are around but even if there isn’t anyone else around too because some dogs might go right back into jumping up again if left alone without any kind of reward given out regularly as reinforcement for good behavior towards guests coming over instead of bad ones like jumping up all over everyone who comes near us at home when nobody else is around either…

Conclusion

When training your dog, it is important to remember that every dog is different. Some dogs will have an easier time than others learning not to jump up on people. If you encounter a breed that seems especially difficult, it may be worth considering getting them professionally trained. Be sure to do your research and find a trainer who is experienced in dealing with the breed of dog you own before making any decisions though!
