Changing Behavior: Jumping part 2

Jumping to say HELLO!

Anti-jump training inside your home.

  • Get your clicker and treats
  • Spend some time clicking and treating your dog for 4 paws on the floor or for sitting.
  • Start adding in walking towards your dog, if he sits, click and treat. If he jumps, walk away without saying anything. If he just stands, then ask for a sit after you stop, if he sits after you say “sit”, click and treat. And practice this a few more times. Then see if you can walk up to him and stop and see if he’ll offer a sit on his own.

Start working with your dog that when he wants something, he sits. So if he wants to eat his dinner, ask for a sit before your place the bowl down. If he wants your pets and love, ask for a sit before you pet him. This is like teaching your dog to say “please” so he can ask for things politely before you give him something.

  • If you have a persistent dog who continues to jump, no matter what and you are turning your back and he is still jumping on you, walk away and put a barrier between you and your dog (this could be a baby gate or a door, walking into another room). If you are consistent with this, dog will learn very quickly that jumping on my owner means they leave me… they stop offering that.
