Stop Dog Jumping Now: A Short Video from the ASPCA

Top Blogs

Try this simple, yet effective method with your jumper. Your homework--report back. Did it work?

(c) ASPCA

I have employed this method with Tanner, who still has the occasional jumpy greeting. It has significantly reduced his jumping; now this behavior is 75% improved. The key, I have found, is in repetition and consistency. Ask family members and regular visitors to give the dog their back, as well. You'll get results much faster if the dog is not rewarded for jumping--EVER!

Let me know how you are doing with this. I can offer other options as well, or you can write to Judy, our ASK THE DOG TRAINER Columnist, for her suggestions. She's a great problem solver. Good luck.
