Do you have a dog that jumps on people to greet them? If so, you won’t want to miss this video that American Standard K9 posted on Sunday, the 24th. Owner Garret Wing offers up two different ways to get your dog to stop jumping, and they seem ridiculously simple to train. I can’t wait to try them!

Whether your dog is jumping on people that are standing or seated, Garret shows two ways to make them stop doing it immediately. Watch on to see his two simple solutions. I feel like both puppies and dogs would pick up on these corrections and stop the jumping pretty quickly.

How to Get a Dog to Stop Jumping

If you have a jumper, it may not be a big deal to you, however to visitors, it can be annoying. Simply put, dogs jump up to say hello or to get attention. It’s one thing if your 10-pound Shih-Tzu jumps up, but it’s another thing if your 100-pound Mastiff does it. My dog is only 65 pounds, and she just about knocks me over when she jumps! There are many ways to train your pooch not to jump, and the key to getting them to stop is training consistently.

Another Pet Helpful article explains, “No matter how you choose to train your dog, be consistent. If you let her jump up on you Saturday morning when you are wearing your old jeans, she will think that it is okay to jump up on you Monday morning when you are dressed for that important meeting. Your dog does not own an iPhone with a calendar, she cannot tell the difference between the weekend and a workday. Don’t let her jump up only when you are in the mood.”

While Garret’s methods seem simple enough, you can try a couple of other methods, too. Most dogs know the ‘sit’ command. If your dog jumps, redirect and correct the behavior by telling them to sit. Another idea is when the dog jumps, you simply turn your back and ignore them until they stop. These are just a couple more simple methods worth trying out.
