Stop Dog from Jumping

It is essential to train one’s dog from the time they are puppies itself on how to sit, stand, fetch and lie down. But more importantly one should train the dog not how to be toilet trained and also how not to jump up on people. This is especially important in the case of large dog breeds that can easily knock over a person or a child. They will also need to be trained not to jump up on furniture. When an owner or a trainer is trying to train dog to not jump they will need a few items to begin with. They will need some dog toys, some dog training equipment or aids and some dog treats which they can use to reward the dog with.

When trying to stop a dog from jumping up on the furniture or any other piece of household item, the owner or trainer will first need to take the pup or the dog off the furniture piece. When they do say they should say “off” at the same time. When an owner or a trainer tries to train their dogs the younger the dog or pup the faster do they learn. One should always remember to be consistent in the training as the dog get easily confused. For example when one is training a dog not to jump on furniture and you punish the dog on one day but ignore the situation on the other day. It is also essential when training a dog not to jump on furniture tops that the owner also does not leave any food items etc on top of furniture or tables etc. As these temptations a dog does find difficult to resist and will end up jumping up. Another useful tip is to restrict the puppy’s roaming area to include areas which do not have any furniture pieces which have nesting qualities. This is especially so for the owner is not around and the dog is alone at home. It is also essential to stop one’s dog from jumping up on people even if it’s a form of greeting or welcome. Again this behavior should be curtailed from the time they are puppies to be most effective. Here again the owner or trainer needs into be consistent in their teaching. They should not permit the dog to even jump up on them and lick them.
