How to stop dog jumping
Often starting during puppyhood, dog jumping can be a serious behavior problem. It seems innocent while your dog is young, but as he grows it can become extremely irritating. This is especially true if he's from a larger breed, although toy dogs are no exception. If your dog jumps on you, he'll definitely jump on other people. This can create an uncomfortable atmosphere for your guests. Take the time to train your dog not to jump up and you'll be one step closer to a well-mannered companion.
Jumping on you
If your dog jumps on you every time he gets excited or greets you, there are a couple of ways to train him to adopt an alternative behavior.
Place your foot on his leash
This simple leash technique should help to stop dog jumping. Whenever your dog looks like he wants to jump up, place your foot on the leash. Leave enough slack to keep him from noticing your foot is on the leash but not enough to let him jump all the way up. When he tries to jump, say "Off!". If your foot is placed properly, the leash will automatically correct your dog. Tell him to sit and gently praise him when he does. Eventually, your dog will learn that jumping up causes an unpleasant tug on his neck while sitting leads to your affection. Remember to remove the leash when your dog can't be supervised.
Hold his paws when he jumps up (Recommended)
When your dog jumps on you, grasp his paws and hold them firmly in place. Wait until he gets uncomfortable and starts to struggle, then let go and say "Off!". Tell him to sit and give him praise if he does. Repeat this process every time your dog jumps up.
