When do puppies stop jumping up on people and stop chewing on furniture?

Question

My puppy is 9 months old and she still hasn't let up on jumping and chewing on furniture, or anything else she can chew on

Answer 1

jumping up will stop after you stop her doing it and reward her for sitting nice when people are greeting you/her.

as for chewing you need to either pray it will stop - probably some time after the dog is about two years old, not guaranteed - or you provide an outlet for her chewing. young dogs need to chew and will chew. if she is chewing something she shouldn't, take the item off her and give her somehting she can chew - a toy/bone etc. - this way she will eventually work out what she is and isn't allowed to chew.

Answer 2

When the dog jumps on you gently push them away by lifting your knee up so pushes into their chest. Do it gently and that will work. As far as the chewing its because of the teething puppies have for about a year. Give a bone, and try to tire them out using rope or a bunch of socks put in a sock and tie a knot and play tug of war and that will help a little. Also I use to put on a glove and kind of use my hand has a mouth and play with my dog and he would bite the glove and I would rub his gums gentle and he would love it cause it was playful (I was trying to substitute my hand as another dog for my dog to play with it worked). And massaging his gums would help the teething. Be careful I don't know your dog and when their young they don't realize yet so they may get carried away and bite to hard but when my dog was an adult I didn't need the glove no more. Also what is your dogs' breed bred for hunting or herding. Depending on which. For hunting fetch gives the dog a chance to perform their purpose by chasing the ball and bringing it back as if it were game. This keeps them happy for them its play. And they are better behaved not just because they are tired out but they have a focus.

Answer 3

They will only stop once you train them not to do it, This means if you do not train them they will continue to chew and jump on things for their entire life. When your puppy starts to chew on something that is not appropriate you need to tell her firmly no take the item from her and replace it with a chew toy. If she jumps on furniture you need to again tell her no firmly and remove her from the furniture, It won't happen over night but it will happen if you do this training with her. If you are away from home she needs to be put in a crate with a blanket and toys.

Answer 4

It depends on what type of dog it is. You should be able to stop the jumping up on people with strict training. As for the chewing, it could last up to 2 years, especially with bigger dogs like labs.

Answer 5

They don't just magically stop one day, they need lots of training and patience. I would recommend some obedience training and some really good chew toys!

Answer 6

sWhen proper training has overcome these natural instincts. Get a dog training book you feel comfortable with the techniques and start working on it. She has no way of knowing these are undesirable behaviors to you unless you train her.

Thed more time you invest now the happier you and your dog will be

Answer 7

When you teach her not to do those things. She doesn't know - you are her teacher. Crate train her and put her in the crate when you are not home. Take her to obedience classes so she can learn manners also. Sit, heel, stay, come etc.

Answer 8

when they get about 1-2 years old!

Answer 9

When you train them not to, otherwise they'll keep doing it.

Answer 10

When they are trained properly.
