Dogs can often get carried away when greeting people. And it can get very embarrassing when your dog is trying to jump all over your guests. Unfortunately, we are often to blame for this bad behaviour.
Greeting pets enthusiastically encourages them to get excited and jump up on us. With us greeting them with hugs and excitement, we are rewarding that bad behaviour.
Tips:
• Avoid greeting your pet enthusiastically
• Try to gain focus of your pet and use the “Sit” command to calm them
• Reward your pet with hugs when they sit calmly
• If your pet continues to jump up on you, ignore them by turning your back and continuing with your tasks
• In severe cases, put your pet into isolation until they calm down
