Text Me Your Questions

Jumping behavior in dogs is completely manageable through positive reinforcement techniques rather than punishment-based methods that cause fear, pain, or intimidation. Using differential reinforcement, you can teach your dog to sit for greetings instead of jumping, creating a lasting behavior change that preserves your relationship.
• Dogs jump to meet face-to-face and because we've accidentally reinforced this behavior
• Jumping continues when we give attention (positive or negative) as a response
• Four main causes: face-to-face greeting, attention-seeking, poor self-regulation, and anxiety
• Traditional punishment methods damage trust and your relationship with your dog
• Teach your dog to sit when approaching from 1-2 feet away and reward generously
• Start with low distractions and gradually increase difficulty as your dog succeeds
• Turn away immediately if your dog jumps, removing all attention
• Use management tools like leashes and gates during the training process
• Practice with guests using the same approach-and-sit technique
• Any behavior can be taught or eliminated using positive reinforcement
