Jumping

 

Jumping is part of a puppy's greeting routine. To deter your puppy from this behavior, there are a few things we can do:

  • Shake can - is an empty aluminum can with about thirteen pennies sealed with tape. Place the can behind your back and shake it every time he/she jumps up without saying a word. Once he has all four paws on the ground again, praise.
  • Squirt bottle of water - same spray face without revealing bottle
  • Leash and collar - as he jumps up, make a quick snapping correction with the leash and collar. Once again, lots of praise when in appropriate position.
