How to Stop Your Puppy or Dog Jumping Up | The Battersea Way

Jumping up is often a behaviour that dogs learn in order to get their owner's attention, and it's easy to unintentionally encourage this when they are puppies. However, once your dog is fully grown it can become a real problem.

We will show you a few simple steps to teach your dog not to jump up and help them to learn that they will only get attention from calmer behaviours.

I've used this technique before with 3 different rescue dogs and turning my back and ignoring them eventually worked. It's harder when you have two dogs but possible. I am now starting this technique with a new hyper adolescent rescue and an older rescue. Because it has been a few years for me this was a helpful refresher.

The advice given in these videos is brilliant - I can’t have a dog at the moment but when I do, I will be following them

If everyone but 1 person in the family likes the jumping up, and don't want to ignore this behaviour but rather encourage it. When the 1 person who doesn't like this behaviour ignores the dog until there is no jumping, can the dog learn to not jump on only that person???

While this is a good trick the some dogs may think it is now a "stop jumping then reword" so they think if they jump and get down they get a reword this method is good for some dogs but there are better methods out there.

What do you do if 2 members of your household are small children? My 3 year old is not likely to turn away when our dog jumps up at bed, instead she giggles and pets him like crazy!

Problem really getting other people to turn back

If you turn your back on them, they jump on their back and scratch them
