Dogs Love to Jump

Jumping up is a sign of affection and excitement from your dog, it starts when your dog is a cute little puppy, all the attention they get and letting them jump all over you and picking them up when their climbing up your leg is all part of the fun for a puppy, especially when you have kids.

When your dog gets older and not so small, the jumping up is a bit of a pain and can be quite dangerous and frightening to you and others.

To stop this excitement and joy of seeing others, let them show their appreciation in a different way such as the ’sit’ command. Every time someone comes to the door get your dog to ’sit’ and stay put and get the visitor to praise the dog for its actions.
