Why does my dog jump on people
Why does my dog jump on people
Dogs don’t jump on people to be rude.
They jump because it works.
Jumping often gets:
- attention
- interaction
- engagement
Even when the reaction is negative.
From the dog’s perspective, this reinforces the behaviour.
Many owners don’t realise that:
- pushing the dog
- speaking loudly
- reacting emotionally
still rewards the behaviour.
Over time, the dog learns that jumping is effective.
The issue is not the behaviour itself.
It is what the dog has learned from it.
This is where most people struggle.
Because they focus on stopping the behaviour instead of changing the outcome.
Inside DOG LICENCE™, this is explained step by step so you can guide behaviour correctly.
