The majority of dogs jump when they are excited. It is their way to release adrenaline. This usually happens in any situation in which they are excited and happy.
When a puppy jumps on people we do not usually consider it as a problem, because we think they are cute, and they are just being affectionate. The problem is that if the puppy is encouraged to jump on people, he will continue doing it when he grows up!
The easiest and most effective way to train your dog to stop jumping is simply to ignore him.
This is how you do it. Whenever your dog jumps on you, you turn your back, fold your arms and look away. At first, he will probably carry on trying to get your attention, but if you continue ignoring him, he will finally give up. This can be hard at the beginning, especially if you have a very close and affectionate relationship with your dog. If your dogs whines and seems to be suffering, do not worry. He is not really suffering, and this initial uncomfortable feeling will bring much happiness to you and your dog in the long term
It is vital that you tell all the other people that are in contact with your dog, to do the same. It could take some time, but if you consistently apply this technique, he will finally get the message.
You should give attention to your dog only when he is calm. If he starts jumping again, ignore him completely.
This is the formula: Give him attention when he is calm and ignore him when he jumps!
