Dogs jump on people too enthusiastic, so that people can not stand, how to change this bad habit?

Does your dog have this habit? As soon as he sees you, he lunges at you excitedly, whether he is a few pounds of small puppy, or dozens of pounds of “huge”, he always feels like a baby, to jump on you for a hug. For small dogs, this characteristic of the dog is barely acceptable. But what if it’s a large adult dog? They don’t know what to do, and if they jump on you, it’s easy to get hurt. And dogs get into the habit of jumping on people, later whether in public or not, they will habitually jump on others, and even to lick others, it will make people feel embarrassed. Many people want to correct the dog jumping on people, then we have to first understand the reasons for the formation of this habit of the dog, mainly the following points: 1, the nature of the dog. In the puppy time, dogs often “pounce” on each other to play. 2, to express their love for their masters. The reason is that they are expressing their love for their masters, and they can’t wait to see their masters to “hug” them. 3, seeking attention. Dogs may be long ignored by the owner, want to use this way to get the owner’s attention. The first step is to train the dog to sit in the training of the dog to jump on people, the first thing you should do is let the dog learn to “sit”. If the dog has learned to “sit” this training, when the dog is found to jump up, immediately ordered it to sit. Then go to its side and pet it. This way, the dog will know to obey the owner’s words, will be loved by the owner. 2, ignore the basic principle of handling dogs jumping on people, is to ignore it. If you ignore it, scold it, or use your hands to push it away when it lunges, you may worsen the problem of the dog lunging. When the dog lunges, immediately turn the body away and ignore it; after the dog calms down, instruct the dog to sit or down, and reward the dog after completing the action. 3, you can make the dog feel uncomfortable If many approaches do not work, then let the dog know that “lunging is not a happy thing”. For example, when the dog lunges, a little force to hold its two front feet, so that it feels pain; or step forward at the same time, the top of it on the ground; or quietly lightly step on its hind feet. This gives the dog the impression that lunging is not a happy thing. These methods are not intended to abuse the dog, but only to make it feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it is important to master the right amount and prohibit too rough movements. Note 1. when the dog pounces on people, we can use words to reprimand them, so that they feel their unhappiness, after long-term training, the dog will be able to understand. 2. when the dog pounces on people, remember not to act very lively or happy, which may mislead them to think that you like very much. 3. can be appropriate rewards, if they are very obedient, did not pounce on people, or end the pouncing behavior You can use food to reward them.
