How do you train a dog not to jump up on company?

Answer 1

3 words....Dog Obedience Class

Answer 2

I would suggest dog obedience training with the use of reward system for appropriate behaviour. You can have a go yourself in the mean time using the method with yourself and your dog, saying No in a firm voice and turning your back on the dog when they jump on you. By offering no attention and no praise for his/her action they will get the idea that its not ok, turn your back and walk away and a minute later ask the dog to come on your terms and give it some attention THEN reward your dog with a little treat and/or alot of praise. They do learn, be patient with him/her and consistent in your training and best of luck.

Answer 3

I have recently enrolled in training class and this was the first issue that was addressed by my trainer.

She said DO NOT RAISE YOUR KNEE in to the dogs chest. You could accidentally crack their chest bone, regardless of their size. And not everyone can get there knee up that high. I have a a lot of jumpers in my training class and it only took her one time with each one and it did not jump again.

It sounds mean and the dog will yelp but it will not jump again. Start this with yourself first. When s/he jumps on you, pull their paws as close to yourself as possible while pinching their paws. Some dogs you will really have to use force to get a reaction. By doing this they are learning that when they touch you there they will get hurt. At the same time saying "no jump". Make him/her sit immediately after the pinching and praise him/her and give treats.

Practice with family or friends.
I had to do the same thing with my dog ( 18 months old ) when I had my Mother -in-Law , she's 82 and I was afraid when she came here to visit us , our dog would jump on her .
So what I did was tell my Mother -in-Law before she came through the door .
Now Mom , remember ......no eye contact , no touching ( she loves dogs ) ignore here completly .
She did .
All our dog did was sniff her , walk around her , put her nose on her hand , but ........she didn't jump on her .
We told her to keep it up like that .
The dog calmed down and we did not have a problem the whole time my husbands Mom was with us .

Obedience Training

Answer 6

well you need to first establish yourself as the dominant one in the house. Then you simply correct the problem when it happens. Use your fingers and thumb to simulate a dog bite and bite them in the neck when they atempt to jump up on someone. Also use a low loud tone to stop them, do not scream or get angry.
Another thing you can do is not open the door to guest until you get the dog to sit and calm down.

hold a chain. when company arrives grasp the chain in your hand and shake it. dogs dont like the sound of it and it stops them being over boisterous always praise when your dog doesnt jump up and he/she will catch on dogs love praise. never shout or smack them it only confuses. worked with mine. i had a trainer teach me this. or use a small pop bottle with pebbles in it has the same effect.

Answer 8

when the dog starts to jump on company have them raise their knee DO NOT KICK just pull your knee up, if the dog is still excited cross your arms and ignore him, no talking to him, no eye contact, no sneaking a rub..NOTHING..ignore him, soon he will learn this is not the behavior you want from him and this will stop.

Answer 9

Our dog trainer instructed us to put our knee to the dogs chest (DO NOT KICK) to push the dog down, then tell them firmly "No Jump"

Answer 10

You should always have some treats handy. And when you come to meet your ddog, you should hold up the treat and say sit. If you do this enough, your dog will learn that he must sit when he meets somone. If your dog does jump on you, scold him.
