Stop a dog jumping up — Ethan’s way

Jumps up when you come home, when you sit down, when you have food.

From “Jumping on you” (12 min) — Fixing Puppy Behaviors.

The protocol

  1. 1
    Knee the instant they decide to jump.

    Before they get a second to enjoy being on you. Mildly uncomfortable — not the hardest knee in the world, not soft.

  2. 2
    Straight back for more? The next one a bit firmer.

    The first wasn’t aversive enough. Your puppy is not made of glass.

  3. 3
    Four paws down and giving space → lots of love, pets, baby voice.

    Affection is the currency. No food needed.
