STEP 1: Be consistent with puppies and dogs; it's counterproductive to discourage your dog from jumping on others, while allowing her to jump on you and lick your face. STEP 2: Turn all the way around when you first walk in the door and your dog leaps up on you. STEP 3: Wait until your dog stops jumping, and say "Good!" the moment she does. STEP 4: Command your pup to sit if she knows the command, and don't touch her until she does. Again, be consistent. STEP 5: Tell your dog to find her toy if she doesn't know "sit." This redirects your pup's energy from jumping on you to finding her toy. STEP 6: Practice "no jump" with friends once your dog learns not to pounce on you. Have friends give treats and praise when your dog succeeds. STEP 7: Anticipate potential jumping situations, and tell your dog to sit or redirect her attention to something else. STEP 8: Praise your dog when she doesn't jump, especially during situations that might give her reasonable cause.

Well a dog jumps up because they want to greet your face, not your legs. When two dogs meet they typically touch noses first. I found with my year old Catahoula Leopard Dog that if I squat at her level when I first come in she doesn't find the need to jump. I continued this with her when she was a puppy and after a few month I just bent over to pet her and squatted less. Eventually she got the idea that she didn't need to jump to catch my attention.

With time and patience. You need to use a nice calm attitude but in a not yelling but a little louder than normal voice tell him the same word when he jumps up like say down and put his paws down and tell him good boy when he's on the floor, if he does it again repeat these step over and over using the same tones and the same words don't get mad because it will confuse him. You need to teach him you are the boss and you mean business. Yes you love him but he needs to listen to you.

I totally agree with Leslie's answer. make sure you completely ignore ALL jumping. the second he tries to jump, cross your arms and turn away. only a sit should be rewarded with petting. i did this with my dog and he was a TERRIBLE jumper. it took a while, but now when i come home, i am greeted by a perfect sit. carry treats with you in public and make sure NO ONE lets him jump on them. you'll come across those nice people who say "ohh it's ok, i love dogs!" etc. tell them you appreciate them being nice, but you are training him. have them ask for a sit and give him a treat instead! you will probably get suggestions like knee him in the chest, grab his paws, smack him etc. this is really just cruel. a dog jumps up because he likes you and wants to say hi. kneeing him in the chest for that is like punching someone in the face for smiling and trying to shake your hand.

When your puppy jumps on you, tell it no in a strong voice, then set it down and tell it to stay. give treats when the puppy does what you ask. It is just basic obedience training, which you should be able to do by getting a book on your dogs breed and going from there.

I was given this little trick and it certainly works. Get a spray bottle and, obviously, put some water in it. When any kind of pet shows behaviour that is not acceptable, spray them. They will soon learn not to repeat that particular behaviour. It may take a few times doing this but they will soon lay down and act normally. Give them rewards to reinforce their good behavior.

She's wonderful! i might say she's all pit nevertheless, the genes for the yellow eyes could have been ruled by way of darker coloured eyes of yet another dogs if she grow to be a mix. This sounds weird and wonderful, yet i do no longer probable comprehend how I abode knowledgeable my bloodhound pup. I in basic terms saved correcting her until eventually she began sitting by way of the door while she necessary to pass out. i did no longer even teach her that, she in basic terms began doing it! with a bit of luck in case you purely shop correcting her and putting her out she'll get the assumption. different than that i do no longer comprehend.

We had the same thing!
Our lab stopped after we continued to push his paws away and say, "NO" sternly. We also stopped inviting him to jump on us. You just have to be stern and say no. When he doesn't jump on you, really praise him or her up and down.
It took us about a month to break this little habit.

when he's up on you: say down and push his head down and dont look happy until he's down. Then when he's down then make him look appreciated and pet him' but then if he goes back up do the same thing again.
youll have to do this for a couple of months before he'll get the hang of it.
