General Information

The behaviour of jumping up on people is typically learned in, or carried on through, puppy-hood. Frequently, this behaviour is rewarded, either intentionally by giving the pup attention or food, or inadvertently by not purposefully correcting it whenever it occurs. Correcting jumping up requires consistent intervention each and every time it is exhibited. Correcting the behavioural problem of jumping up can be done with the following training exercises. The most effective and direct way to extinguish this troublesome behaviour is to use both positive and negative reinforcement.

Certain dogs will refrain from jumping up while wearing the leash, but revert back to old patterns when the leash is removed. Find out how to fix these nuisance behaviours from occurring.
