How to stop a dog jumping up

How to stop a dog jumping up

Jumping up is usually a sign of excitement.

But if not guided properly, it quickly becomes a habit.


Dogs jump because they:

  • seek attention
  • release energy
  • want interaction

If this behaviour gets a reaction, it is reinforced.


Many owners respond by:

  • pushing the dog away
  • speaking loudly
  • reacting emotionally

To the dog, this is still engagement.


What matters is removing the reward.

And guiding the behaviour consistently.


Your dog needs to learn:

  • what is acceptable
  • how to greet calmly
  • how to manage excitement

This is where most people struggle.

Because inconsistency reinforces the behaviour.


Inside DOG LICENCE™, this is shown step by step with clear, real-life guidance.
