Eliminating Unwanted Behaviour
Jumping Up
Dogs typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your dog to jump on you, then friends
or members of the family should not encourage this behaviour. That means every time your
dog jumps on someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable
behaviour, for which he can receive praise.
Note: It is best if your dog fi rst understands the "Sit" command.
1. Choose the Stimulation Level one step higher
than your dog's Recognition Level.
2. As soon as your dog lifts his paws off the
ground to jump on you, press and hold the
Upper Button to send an Audible Tone and
Stimulation and give the command "Sit."
3. Release the Upper Button immediately once
your dog is sitting, and verbally praise him.
4. Practice this exercise in several different areas
and use different people for distractions.
