We have a tendency to react quickly when our dog jumps on us or someone else. There are training exercises that you can do to get your dog to stop jumping but today,we are going to concentrate on what not to do.

• Don’t become overly excited when you greet your dog. The calmer that you are, the calmer your dog will be.
• Don’t shout at your dog when she jumps on you or someone else. Shouting will only make your dog jump more.
• Don’t try to grab your dog of push her away. This can also cause more jumping.
• Never knee your dog in the chest, step on her toes, grab or pinch her. This will cause pain and scare her.

Most of all be patient and try to train her in a gentle way not to jump. We will cover training tips in the future.

Remember, your pets count!
