how can i stop my staff from jumping up at people when they come in the house it is annoying and wil it stop?

Answer 1

WON'T STOP IF YOU DON'T DO SOMETHING!!!


Stop jumping by any of these methods:

(1) A loud “No” and push her off and hold her down and scold her with “Bad, Bad Bad”. Then tell her “Okay,” let her up and give her a pat (if she doesn’t leap again.)

(2) A loud “No” and time it so that as she comes off the ground, you bring your foot forward and step on her back foot.

(3) A loud “No” and as she comes up off the ground, raise your knee so that she hits I with her chest and bounces off.

Answer 2

No, the jumping will not stop if you don't make it stop. Right now it's working for him, so why would he quit?

All people should give the dog attention only when sitting or standing. He should be ignored otherwise. Tell him to sit if it is too hard to ignore his jumping. Everyone must do this - if he gets attention for jumping just one time out of 10, he will continue to jump.

Do not use corrections such as kneeing, stepping on his feet, or jerking a leash. He is just saying hello. Correcting him can teach him to be defensive around people. He needs to learn to say hello politely, not to not say hello at all.

Answer 3

Tell everybody that comes in the house to ignore your dog, coz they are looking for attention and when people come in they make a fuss of the dogs. If you stop and look up at the ceiling, the dogs will stop and think 'What they lookin at? Look at ME!' So they stop jumping. Anyway why stop it? If you think its annoying you shouldnt have a dog.

Wow someone has a Staffy!!! My Staffy jumps at me when I come home and I tell her get down, off etc...she is just excited. Your dog needs obedience training. I always tell people to ignore my dog until he settles, then calmly pet him. You also need to remember that no matter how much training and consistancy you provide, it only takes one high pitched squeal of happiness to from cousin Joe to set your dog of on a happy, jumpy spree. Other people tend to encourage the behavior. Stay vigilant and keep training. Your dog needs to learn to focus, and maintain his cool under exciting circumstances. Good luck.

Answer 5

I have a Staffie and he wants to jump up, but if people visiting are stern about it, he won't. My mother used to step on back toe of dog that jumped. He soon stopped.

Answer 6

the best trick i've learned is to knee the dog when it jumps up on you. tell your houseguests to just lift their leg and knee it in the chest. it pushes him off without using your arms, which can sometimes seem like attention and playing (what the dog is looking for) just a firm no, and push him away with your knee.

Answer 7

one of the best ways is to get a training harness, it is a harness that looks like any other body harness except it also goes around the legs, its great,
every time they try to jump they can't, it does not hurt them and it helps them to learn on their own with out you haveing to get worried ever time some one comes over!!
