Jumping Dogs

Jumping is very acceptable behavior to dogs and used as a means of greeting, attention and play. It should be noted as normal dog behavior. The problem exists in that dogs don’t know that it is an unacceptable behavior for humans. When you come home or a guest enters the home your dog wishes to greet you or your guest as another dog and wants to give and receive attention and this is his way of showing it. Most dog owners often reinforce this problem behavior unknowingly. A jumping dog’s behavior can be controlled and modified using appropriate training methods.

There are five (5) simple humane techniques that we use to stop unwanted jumping behavior in dogs. We emphasize reinforcing positive responses to accomplish the desired change in behavior.

One thing we don’t do is to encourage our dog to jump and then correct him, which is a common method used by some trainers or behaviorists.

Does your dog jump like a yo-yo when he first greets you?

The reason is dogs like to greet you face to face and your much taller than they are. You can easily teach them how to always greet you on all "fours."

Great Dog Training’s “Dog Behavior Solutions” ™ video addresses fourteen of the most common dog and puppy behavior problems and guides you through your dog’s training with “how to” step by step instructions and demonstrations using real dogs. Each behavior is covered in a self contained chapter allowing for easy review. At the end of the chapter, each of the main points are highlighted and summarized.

The video is presented by veteran dog behaviorists Walt and Beth Kelly, who have more than 55 years of combined training and behavioral experience, and is a comprehensive guide to understanding the most common dog behaviors and correcting the unwanted dog behaviors. It provides humane ways to discourage unwanted behaviors and promote those that are desired. The techniques employed are proven by experience gained through training thousands of dogs and dog owners over the past 25 to 30 years. Learn more about the Kellys.
