You can use a negative, Just make sure you have a ratio of 10 positives to 1 negative. A second option would be to teach the dog to jump on you on command. Reward, then say off, when the dog puts his paws on the ground, preferentially reward the off. Preferentially rewarding the off, will get you where you want to be.

good point!

im gunna try this on my beagle, im pretty sure this will work

What if the “holding their paws” doesnt work? My german shepherd doesnt care if we hold his paws.

I am going to try this mehod with my Saint Bernard!

Thanks!

Well that still counts as a negative experience for the dog. I like positive training. You don’t have to make the dog uncomfortable while you’re teaching him something. Ignoring the dog works just fine, so why not? You want him to not jump while understanding that jumping will take away your attention from him – that jumping makes YOU uncomfortable so he shouldn’t do it.., not because he knows he’ll get uncomfortable.

Great instruction. I raise dogs and always send my puppies out with basic commands and training ideas. Making them aware of the potential of unintentionally causing a jumping dog is important. They are not allowed to do this until 8 wks of age and I think that makes the transition a bit easier as long as the new owners are mindful.

This worked in about 2 minutes!!! AMAZING!! MIRACULOUS! Try it – and DON’T do cruel techniques such as kneeing them in the chest – the dogs are only trying to be close to you. Remember to get down to their level when you first see them. Otherwise, of COURSE they would want to jump up – they are just saying “Hey – I love you! I’m happy to see you! Please acknowledge me!!” This technique is amazing, kind, and it works! – thank you so much!! share this with everyone who visits your dog!

I don’t agree with this, because if you’re expecting them to respect your space, you should respect their space. It’s hard to walk into a dog that’s larger than you, who’s also very dominant. I’ve found that simply ignoring the dog and pretending it’s not there – “no touch, no talk, no eye contact” – has worked tremendously. Just my experience though.

Thats awesome, im gonna try that, i have a pitbull, nice dog but jumps on me too much

Thank you so much for this video! I have a 1 year old cock-a-poo puppy who has way too much energy and jumps all over them! He will even launch himself off the ground to jump on people with all 4 legs! He loves people and is a great family dog but it’s a huge issue when we have friends and family over! Plus we have a newborn baby girl we have to think about. I’m going to try this and see how it works. Thanks for the tips n the free e-book!

iv tried that but it didnt work this is beter

Man you are so cool thanks for share this I am so exited go home teach my dog.

what you think i meant like actually hurt the dog?
Take your thumb and index finger and squeeze the middle of your hand lightly.
does it hurt? no it doesn’t, it’s just likely that the dog won’t like it, jeesuz.

you should never own a dog O.O

if your dog likes it when you hold their paws, just squeeze their paws ( the middle) until they start to struggle

Digging is a very natural behavior for a dog. Put a sandbox in your yard and bury his favorite toys and bones. Go out with your dog and start digging in the sand box. Act very excited about the toys and give him lots of praise for digging in the sandbox. This way he will love digging in his own special spot and will leave the rest of your yard alone.

Walk into they’re space. Walk into the dog fast and say OFF!!! in a calm stern voice. Use your arm to point over the dog but not in his face. Walking into a dogs space forcefully like that is a dominate behavior they will quickly learn that they need to respect your space

To Andrea:
Instead of holding the dog’s paws try turning your back to him as soon as he jumps (taking your face and attention away) Takes patience and persistence but will work

The real reason dogs jump is because when they were puppies they jumped to lick their mother’s face to get fed- notice how your dog jumps for your face?
Also, licking is for wanting to get fed and get attention from the alpha

burry his poop in the places he usually dig.
He’ll hate the “surprize” and will most likely not do it again.
there are other ways, even better than this one.
don’t listen to idiots, you do not need to punch the dog.

Three halves? =P I’m kidding, I love your videos; my dog is too little to jump on us.

I tried this with my dog and he likes to be held by his paws, he just stands there and stretches…what advice do you have to get a dog to stop jumping if he likes to be held by his paws…?

HAHAHA lol

you fuckin idiot, bet you dont punch other men when they do things you dont want to you shithouse. disgusting
