Prevent Your Dog From Jumping Up

Messy business: dogs jumping up can cause damage

Stopping a dog from jumping up should start when your dog is still a puppy. 

Although it’s undeniably funny and exciting to see the puppy so happy, the owner must resist rewarding it with praise and attention when it jumps up.

Nipping this behaviour in the bud is much easier to manage when your dog is still a small puppy than when it’s a full grown dog that can knock a person off balance when it jumps up.

Preventing a dog from jumping up is really a safety issue, especially if there are children or elderly people potentially involved.

A fully grown dog can knock these individuals over and cause them severe harm, even though it is by no means the dog’s intent to harm them.

To prevent your dog from jumping up, one trick is to make it clear it is never appropriate for the dog to jump up.

Tricks and Tips to Prevent Dog Jumping

To do this, ignore the dog when it tries to jump up. Then to deter the dog from jumping up in future, the individual should turn his or her back on the dog and refuse to return any eye contact with the dog.

As the dog wants to get a person’s attention when that person’s back is turned and there’s no eye contact, the dog does not receive the attention he or she seeks.

If and when this is done consistently, the dog will learn that jumping up does not get the attention and so he or she will turn to other ways of attracting attention.

Having calmed the dog down, the next step in stopping a dog jumping up is to positively reinforce the good behavior.

You can tell the dog to sit and lavish attention on him or her.  This teaches the dog that when he or she does not jump up and sits down he or she receives a lot of attention.

This is by far the best and most effective way of stopping a dog from jumping up on anyone who may come into the dog’s view.

Telling those people who come into the home how to react to the dog, telling it to sit when greeting it, the behaviour will be further reinforced and the dog stopped from jumping up as a matter of course.

    CDPOM/ Celebrate Pets are a great bunch of people. They have been looking after our cat for just about every period away from home for the last five years, from single days to a couple of weeks. They are really great with him and no extra seems too large for them from watering the plants to putting the bins out. We always get a text from them so that we know visits have started and comprehensive reports on what he's been like when we're away. Cannot recommend highly enough, completely reliable and they love our cat. What more could you want?

    As a customer for over 7 years and a regular traveller, I have been delighted with the service provided in looking after my home and pets. Easy and simple booking and payment process, prompt responses, and never a problem to arrange care for my cats even at very short notice. I have complete confidence in leaving my home and pets in their hands. They keep me updated while I'm away and even put a pint of milk in the fridge if I'm away for more than a few days.

    We are so pleased we found CDPOM as our cat, Lucy, was so distressed in the cattery. We have been using their services for several years now and have always found them extremely reliable and we are always confident that Lucy is in safe hands. From their reports, she seems to enjoy their visits and always looks well and happy when we return home. In addition, they always ensure that the house is left secure and how we left it. We would highly recommend them.

    Louise and all the team at CDPOM have been amazing. I have used them for many years to look after my dog and the team obviously love the animals. They have helped me out at short notice and also kept Molly for longer when I've been delayed. Louise also house sits which give me peace of mind that someone is around when I'm away and less stressful on Molly. Thanks again and cant recommend highly enough.

    So reliable, I would highly recommend Louise and her Cat visiting service. Going away can be quite stressful with cats, as they don't like the disruption of being moved elsewhere, or having strangers in the house. After trying a few things, I realised home visits is really the best way. It was hard to find a reliable service at first, after a few issues in the past, so CDPOM was a godsend. Louise has been looking after my cats for over 10 years, and she has removed the stress out of travelling, as I know my cat will be in good hands with her. Thanks Louise!
