Preventing Your Puppy From Being In A Situation Where They Might Bite You And Grab Your Clothes Is Just As Important, If Not More Important, Than Teaching Your Dog What To Do In The Moment.
Attach the leash to the puppy’s collar; Your dog is quite clever, and will likely stop trying to jump when they receive no response. Another method is to remove yourself altogether.
You Can Stop Dog Jumping By Following These Simple Guidelines:
Calmly approach your dog to say sit. If they start to jump up as you turn toward them, turn away again until they understand that they have to keep four paws on the ground, and when they sit, give them a treat and praise. It’s all about keeping calm and unflustered when the puppy gets it wrong so they may learn how best to approach you.
Follow The Four On The Floor Rule.
As soon as your dog is calm and has all 4 paws on the ground, give vocal praise and a tasty treat to reinforce the behavior. A leash is especially vital if you are around people who will encourage jumping up. Step back and call pup to you for a little gentle quiet under chin massage.
Avoid Fast Movements And Loud Voices.
Pop your puppy’s paws down and hold its side gently for a second. If this causes more intense mouthing and biting of your hands, try a different tip. If the jumping immediately resumes, turn away again until they stop.
Simply Step On The Leash So Your Pup Doesn’t Have The Option To Jump On Visitors.
Again, when they are fully ‘four on the floor’, offer gentle praise and affection. That only teaches your puppy that he needs to sneak around to the front before he jumps. Three effective corrections for jumping.
