Now, don’t think this is a technique where you shout: “No!” or “Stop!” because those methods seldom work well. As a matter of fact, the pooch thinks you are playing! But check this out:

Here’s the trick that will solve you this problem. Simply when your dog jumps on, do the following:

1. Avoid any eye contact with your dog.

2. Cross your arms over your chest.

3. Turn your back to your dog and don’t say a word!

4. When your dog comes back in front of you to jump again, say “SIT”

5. If they sit, make sure you reward them with a TREAT!

Now they can associate jumping on you with no attention and no care and when they don’t jump on you and sit they’ll be rewarded!

Seems a little too simple, doesn’t it? But it works! We tried it on a friend's pug and were surprised how quickly he caught on.

The sooner you train your pooch the better. If you have adopted a puppy do it now! It may seem cute for him to jump on you now but later you may regret it!

Be proud of your pup and teach him well!
