 What should I do when my dog tries to jump up on people?


If your dog jumps up on people, we're probably teaching it to do that.
It starts with a few small hops, then a few big jumps, and before you know it, your dog is getting in the way while you're talking to someone.



The first step is to tell everyone nearby to ignore the jumping dog.
This will show him that this is not a good way to get attention. Next, give your dog a toy or some food to keep him from jumping on people, even for 5 seconds. It will help him learn that there are other ways to get people's attention besides jumping on them. Lastly, if your dog jumps up on someone and you catch it in the act, tell it a firm "NO!" and give it one of its favorite treats right away as a reward for not doing it again.
Even though it's cute to see your dog jump up on people, that can be seen as rude. Experts say that you should teach your dog the command "sit" and practice it with other people. Keep in mind that not all dogs like it when strangers pet them, so if you have a shy dog, you might need to be much more patient and gentle with it.
When dogs jump up, it's to get our attention or to show affection. Give them attention and calmly pet them to show that you love them back.




Here are a few quick ways to stop your dog from jumping:
Don't look at the dog. Leave the dog alone for a while. 4) Ask the person not to touch your dog with their hands.
