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.
