Stop dog jumping up on You

Many dog owners have a problem with their dog jumps up. Many dog owners inadvertently encourage this behavior by the enthusiastic response to a puppy, running toward them and making small jumps on their knees. 

The puppy quickly realize that jumping up will make him lots of hugs and kisses. Dogs can not possibly understand the difference between a puppy and a great adult dog jumps up.

When is jumping unacceptable? 

Many dog owners with small or toy dogs, see dog jumps up as a sign of affection and excitement. Fortunately, these dogs will probably not knock someone over with their energetic behavior, and their small size will only make them intimidating to a very small child. Yet it is unusual for anyone to enjoy a strange dog jumping up, no matter how small their size. Your dog must be taught in the "off" command sometimes when you're too far away to stop her jumping. 

The "no jump" or "off" command is necessary for owners of large dogs. Large dogs are often higher than a man when standing on hind legs - just think how scary it would be for a toddler! In addition, their weight is often enough to overturn an adult. Being scratched or injured by your own dog is bad, but it is much worse if it happens to someone else. A responsible dog owner will ensure that his dog is fitted with a recall to the off command. 

So why dogs jump? 

Most dogs jump up with excitement. Many dogs never jump up except when their owner comes home after being at work all day. If your dog jumps up on you at the time, he is just jumping for joy. A less common yet serious reason is a dog jumps up to show his dominance over the person he jumps on. 

Your dog is obviously to show his joy and enthusiasm, if the only time he jumps up, during play or when he is excited to see you. If the jump occurs in several circumstances, it is likely that your dog is showing dominance behavior, which is a sign of a communication or attitude problem. This will require changes in the way you and your dog relate to each other, with emphasis on your role as top dog.
