Stop Dog Jumping: A Positive Approach to Stopping Dog Jumping Without Punishment 22:54

5 weeks22:54

22:54

Text Me Your Questions Jumping behavior in dogs is completely manageable through positive reinforcement techniques rather than punishment-based methods that cause fear, pain, or intimidation. Using differential reinforcement, you can teach your dog to sit for greetings instead of jumping, creating a lasting behavior change that preserves your relationship. • Dogs jump to meet face-to-face and because we've accidentally reinforced this behavior • Jumping continues when we give attention (positive or negative) as a response • Four main causes: face-to-face greeting, attention-seeking, poor self-regulation, and anxiety • Traditional punishment methods damage trust and your relationship with your dog • Teach your dog to sit when approaching from 1-2 feet away and reward generously • Start with low distractions and gradually increase difficulty as your dog succeeds • Turn away immediately if your dog jumps, removing all attention • Use management tools like leashes and gates during the training process • Practice with guests using the same approach-and-sit technique • Any behavior can be taught or eliminated using positive reinforcement Check out my website at dogbehaviorist.com for my article on how to stop dogs from jumping, along with about 100 other articles on dog behavior.

We love all your support. Today I want to talk about different dog training options. You know, whether it be you needing or wanting to train a young puppy or you training an older dog, there are different options. You know, some of the most common options are sending your dog away. for training, what a lot of people call board and train or doggy bootcamp, having private lessons or going to a group class. So I just want to talk a little bit about the pros and cons of all of those. Now, the first thing that I want to say is that I believe, especially, especially when you're starting brand new training with a dog that knows little to nothing, that getting private one -on -one training the best option for every dog and for every pet parent. if you've got a dog that has problems in the home, nuisance behaviors like potty training issues, jumping, barking, digging, being destructive, again, having private lessons is great. Now, if you've got a lot of those nuisance behaviors at your home, private lessons are best done there, at your home. and not done at the trainer's facility if they have one or meeting them in a park. Now I'm not saying that that's a bad way to go. Again, private one -on -one training I think is the best thing because you the pet parent get the undivided attention of that trainer without them having to divide their attention with other pet parents, with other dogs. And that leads me into group training classes. because a lot of people want to opt for group training classes because in many cases they're more affordable than private one -on -one training and group classes ca Support the show If you need professional help please visit my Dog Behaviorist website.
