Getting your dog to stop jumping

One the most common and annoying doggie habits has to be jumping up on nearby humans! It’s natural for dogs to want to greet us face to face, especially since we’ve taught them to do this by nuzzling them nose to nose when they were puppies. Problem is, when your pooch is grown, he wields powerful (often muddy) paws which can be quite a nuisance to your guests, and downright dangerous to small children and elderly people.
Maybe you’ve been reacting by hollering or pushing your pooch down…but he’s still doing it isn’t he? This is because jumping is an attention-seeking behavior. And as long as it gets your attention, good or bad, it’s not going to stop anytime soon. In this podcast you’ll learn how to get your dog’s jumping under control once and for all.

Thanks for the podcast on how to get your dog to stop jumping. This is my dogs biggest problem right now, and I appreciate your tips. I do try and do exactly what you said to do, but my dog still gets excited. I guess he’s a litle stubborn, but so am I - lol. I just keep ignoring him until he calms down. I know adventually he will get it, but in the mean time - he’s has become an excellent back scratcher. Feels so good makes me almost not want to train him - lol, but maybe I can train him not to jump and also train him to scratch my back on command.
