Posted by admin on February 2, 2000

Is your dog always jumping on people and getting them dirty or getting you dirty before work? Dog do not have this problem it is the owners that have this problem. In some cases it can get really old when your dog jumps on you and gets muddy footprints on you clothes or scratches you till you bleed. Many people with dogs like it when their dog jumps around, not me. When a puppy is little all it knows is to jump up and down.

So as people, we love puppy’s, is is a natural thing to get on a knee and pet it and play with it, so as a puppy they think it is OK to jump. So as a puppy, they learn that jumping is OK because it will get some attention. Your dog does not understand anything unless you teach him. Jumping as a puppy is the same as jumping as a huge hairy adult. A dog will say hi and jump, jump, jump to them it is saying hi. It does not matter how old they are, they just want to say hi. But you can teach them. What you need to do as a owner and someone who loves your dog teach him not to jump and that it is not an option to do it. “So when is it OK for my dog to jump”? Well it is up to you if you do not mind it then do not teach it. But if you do not want your dog to end up in a pound because someone said he attack a little kid then maybe you will teach him, it will save a lot of pain.

Some of you have smaller dog and this is not a problem. We all know that a little dog it not going to knock someone down like a big dog will. But when a bigger dog starts to jump they will knock someone down and most of the time, if it is a loving dog, then it will be kids who want to play. The best thing to do is to teach your dog some commands on how to act when people are around or when people start to walk up to him. When you own a large dog it is a must have to teach them the command for not jumping. Most big dogs are taller than people when they are on the back of the legs. So imagine how a little kids feels, they are probably scared out of their mind and don’t know what to do. At the very least a big dog will put hole in everything you own if they jump on you all the time. And your cleaning bill will be outrageous.

So if you have a problem with your dog always jumping and scratching people when they walk up. Maybe they just want to play and get some attention, and that is fine, but there still need to be a lesson there. Most of us have kids and we teach are kids manners, well what is wrong with giving are dogs some commands on not jumping on people. If you need some help then let me give you all the right commands for your dog.
