jumping problems

Ollie has this problem too .... but is learning !!!

Reggin is that way. Its very rude and thats why I hate it. The best thing to to is ignore him. The person who is being jumped on should turn around and avoid eye contact with him. The problem is that everyone who sees Reggin likes to give him attention even when he is jumping up, so that reinforces his behavior.

Yes, I feel the same way about it being rude and have the same problem with many people. I've ignored her and it's worked somewhat with cutting down her jumping on me, but I haven't been able to ask people we barely know to do the same. I usually end up pulling her back by her leash as she is jumping so she doesn't make contact with them, but it doesn't teach her not to jump the next time. She is also very persistant with her jumping, and will jump several times even when ignored. Maybe I should stage situations with friends, in order to teach her better.

Step one: Get a leash and use it. Prevent the behavior.

Step two: Teach the dog the sit command.

Step three: when the dog tries to jump up on the leash, ask the dog to sit, and reward it for doing so.

When there is new people in the house, there is no way in hell that Reggin will listen to the sit command as he gets more pleasure from jumping up on people than from some treat. Trust me, I've tried. But all dogs are different.

So with all due respect, if you cannot even teach your dog not to jump up or obey a sit command, why are you on the training forum giving advice?

then i would remove him from the situation so he doesn't self-reward and make the behavior stronger.

my puppy has this problem.we are still in the learning phase and we tried the turn our back trick, that has no effect on her.

I saw a episode of victoria stillwells where she was helping train a jumper, she had a leash on the dog, brought in a visitor, and the dog jumped , the second the dog did this she took the dog out,(away from everyone) waited for dog to be calm, went back in the room, dog jumped , repeat. and after I think she said 10 minutes of doing this the dog finally stopped.

so I decided to do give this a try and it does work, only thing LOL is I have to do it to each individual person. Its almost like she says "oh well I cant jump on dad but hey this person is fair game"
this is why I said she is learning. This tech. definatly works, I guess it boils down to consistancy.

if we are out for a walk or something, I step on the leash, while she is in sit, so if she gets the urge, she cant jump.

Excuse me?

Yes, he does obey a sit command. But when people are around he gets too excited, and you know one training tactic may work better for some than others. In Reggins case, he dislikes getting the cold shoulder when he is jumping for attention. Turning and ignoring has worked quite well for us, in fact, that is the very reason why I gave advice. A little something I've seen done by Victoria Stilwell.

And please tell me why I should not give advice when something has worked for us.

I understand where you're coming from, Reggin, in that jumping on people combine two of my dog's favorite activities - jumping and meeting new people - and she may be too distracted to respond to the treat. Or rather, she will likely sit down briefly when given the command, then ignore the treat. I think I may try getting some yummy treats that she doesn't usually get to have, and asking the other person to give her the treat when she sits, and then resume petting her so long as she stays seated. I used the "unique" treat method when crate training her (deli turkey slices in her kong) and it worked really well. I'm hoping if I combine it with ignoring her when she jumps, it will eventually sink in that she needs all four paws on the ground. I'll let you know how it goes!
