Dog Issues: Jumping up
When you come home you enjoy the happy excited greeting you get from your dog. Until, like Dino in the Flintstones, you dog jumps up on you almost knocking you down to the floor. There is an easy way to stop your dog from doing this. Although you may enjoy the excited display when you get home, it can be potentially dangerous when small children or seniors come to visit. Children and seniors are at a greater risk of being seriously hurt by a dog jumping up on them. This is also a sign of dominance in your dog. When dogs meet each other they do not jump up on each other to say ‘Hi’. So why would it be an acceptable way for our dogs to say ‘hi’ to us? It is a way your dog expresses its leadership over you and anyone else they jump up on. To resolve the jumping issue you must ignore your dog when you come home. Do not look or speak to your dog. You must act as if your dog isn’t even there. If your dog still jumps up on you while you are ignoring him, turn your back to your dog and fold your arms against your chest while looking away, or enter a room that your dog has no access to. Once your dog has settled down, tell your dog to sit. Once sitting, praise your dog and give a treat. Your dog must come to understand that you will not acknowledge him until he is calm and sitting. Dogs are fast learners. But you need to practice your entry several times before your dog will come to understand that he has to be calm before you will acknowledge him. You must explain the situation to your expectant guests before they arrive, and explain what they need to do to prevent jumping. They must also ignore your dog when they come to visit. Your dog will come to understand that he will not get any attention unless he is calm. This will work if you follow the directions carefully. Any deviation from the plan will cause you to have to start over again with your dog. You may not see results over night, but with a little time and effort you will have a dog that is still happy to see you, without the possible dangers of being knocked down. (Or you can always do what Fred Flintstone did in the cartoon and throw a steak in the opposite direction.)
