How to train your dog not to jump when greeting people
If you want to come home to your dog without him jumping on you or other people when they approach, then you had better train the dog properly.
WARNING: Do not knee your dog. I realize that this is the first reaction that most dog owners take when dealing with a constant “jumper" but it only makes things worse. Why? Because the dog is craving attention and even though kneeing the dog is negative attention – it is still a form of attention to the dog. You can also injure the dog without even realizing it.
The Dog Training Zone
The following training guide is one of several ways to train your dog not to jump when greeting you and other people. For this procedure, your dog will already have to be trained to sit:
1. With your dog leashed, go near the doorway with your dog on your left. Tell your dog to “Stay". You should be holding the leash bunched up in your right hand and your left hand should be holding tightly the leash palm down, between the dog and your right hand
2. Have a friend come by and ring the doorbell. Once you go to open the door to let your friend come in, make your dog stay sitting at your left side.
3. If your dog starts to get frantic and and tries to disobey the stay command, correct him with a loud “NO". Pull back the leash in a jerking manner, release the collar, and tell him to “STAY".
4. Now with your dog under control and your friend a few feet away, have him give the dog a gentle “Hey boy" as he approaches the dog.
5. If the dog again starts to break the stay command, jerk the leash as you remind the dog to “STAY".
6. You should have your friend approach the dog numerous times here, and each time repeating the dog training commands if he starts to break away from the stay command. Each time that the dog does not jump, both you and your friend should pet him. Repeat the process over and over again.
The Dog Training Zone
This is a simple approach and often trains dogs to avoid jumping within one day if you have the time and a friend to help you replay the situation over and over again.
