JUMPING STOP DOGS FROM JUMPING
We work all over Sydney and have experience dealing specifically with helping your dog to stop jumping
A dog is not “greeting” the human when it jumps up on you or puts its paws on you. We like to think it is affectionately greeting us, and while it may be happy to see us, it is asserting its dominance over the human; it is the dog communicating that it is alpha dog and wants to control the human.
A subordinate dog in a pack would never run over and jump on the alpha dog. Lower members of the pack respect the higher members. If your dog jumps on humans, it is not respecting them and if fact showing dominance over the human.
When a puppy jumps on humans it is sometimes for affection and to greet, but if not stopped early on, this behaviour will change into other meanings and dominance as the puppy grows up into an adult dog.
