Does Your Dog Jump Up?

Have you ever thought about why your dog jumps up on you? It is to say “Hello”. We all like to be greeted when we come home, but letting your dog jump up on you says it is o.k. to jump up on your family and friends. So when you tell him/her no jumping up on others, you are sending mixed messages. To stop this behavior, you will need to say no when your dog jumps up and walk away. This will send a message to your dog that jumping up isn’t going to get any attention. The easy solution is to squat down and let your dog say his/her hello. That way you and your canine are happy.
