Why does my dog jump on people?
A practical look at enthusiastic greetings and how to change them.
Abin Thampi · Dog Training Suraksha
Many dogs jump because it has worked before: people talk, touch or look at them. Even pushing a dog away can feel like attention.
Teach a greeting your dog can succeed at, such as keeping four paws on the floor. Arrange calm practice with willing visitors and reward the behaviour you want.
Keep expectations consistent across the family. A predictable routine is easier for your dog to learn.
