Tired of your dog jumping all over you and your guests? You're not alone. In this dynamic episode, dog training experts Lauren Langman and Dave tackle one of the most common yet frustrating canine behaviors - jumping up.
We explore why jumping becomes problematic and why it's worth addressing beyond just keeping your clothes clean. Lauren shares a poignant personal story about her father's battle with cancer, highlighting how jumping dogs can pose genuine safety risks for vulnerable individuals. The conversation delves into legal considerations too - most dog owners don't realize that if your dog merely scares someone by jumping, it could potentially be considered dangerous under the Dangerous Dogs Act.
The magic of this episode lies in the practical solutions. You'll discover how incredibly adept dogs are at reading context and cues, allowing them to understand when jumping might be acceptable versus inappropriate. We introduce boundary games as a powerful training tool, explain the importance of household consistency, and share management strategies using crates, puppy pens, and gates to prevent jumping while training progresses.
Dave reveals his simple rule: dogs can only jump when they have a Kong in their mouth, demonstrating how clear criteria help dogs understand expectations. Lauren explains how putting jumping on cue creates clarity, while managing access to reinforcers prevents dogs from being rewarded for unwanted behavior.
