During your dog training sessions, you are most likely using treats as a bribery technique. This is the most effective route to dog training. Tell the dog a command, if he listens he gets a treat. This very simple equation for the dog processes rapid fast results. Now some factors need to be looked into while giving dogs treats while teaching them dog training. First off, if you need to have the treat in your hand (visible to the dog eye) for the dog to listen, than your dog is most likely only half trained. This may be a tough factor to comprehend but it is complete truth in the dog training world. Your dog should know WITHOUT seeing the treats visible that he or she is still going to get a treat. This takes a lot of repetition training of the dog actually seeing you take it out of your pocket or whichever place you take it from. Secondly, if the dog receives a treat for a training trick then the dog should receive a treat EVERY time. So many dog training sessions do this wrong. You may ease out of this once the dog is older, but since the dog is under the age of one or still pretty young you must always keep the treats coming. If you stop this a couple of times, you will notice that the dog will listen a little bit less than he use to when the treats were at a constant. Lastly, the type of treats is basically up to the trainer. There are items we suggest you should not use, such as any human food, raw meat, and things of that such. It is common sense for most of us but we do see times when people use raw meat and what this actually does is give the canine that once originated from the wild get a taste of blood.

There exist many different ways that you can train a puppy but one thing is for sure, you have to be very clear when saying your voice commands. All dogs and puppies will definitely get confused if you or your family use one particular word command to get the dog to do two different things. For example, think about the commands “Down” and “Off!” where each needs to have its own certain meaning.

You see, there definitely exists different meanings with the commands “Down” and “Off!”so it is very important to not get them confused. The command “Down” normally will be used to get the puppy or dog to lie down on the floor or ground. So if you want to get your dog to not jump on you or someone else, don’t use the command “Down” if you also use it for him to lie down. You will want to use a different command word like “Off!” to get your dog off you or another person. Make sure all your family members know the correct command for a wanted puppy reaction. Of course, this goes for any command.

Now you know to be specific and consistent when using dog commands, lets look at our subject of preventing dogs and puppies to not jump on people. So first we will look at why dogs jump on us. Well, just imagine…your height is under 2.5 feet, you have a 2 year old immature brain, you love it when your family members come home, and you have the ability to get on your hind legs when you have to. If all your family members were much taller, wouldn’t you want to greet them happily by moving up to there level? Ok, now you know how many dogs feel.

The first thing you might want to do when arriving home through the door is getting on his level to greet him. Think again. To be a pack leader over your dog, don’t do that. It might sound bad but pack leader dogs don’t succumb to there pack dogs that way so don’t you do that. If your dog jumps on you to greet you, turn your back on him while saying “Off” and wait till he gets over being excited. If he can’t see your face directly then there is no reason to jump, right? So try that. Now, once your puppy calms down a little then you can give him some love. Remember, don’t reward an excited state. It might lead to other bad behaviors. Pack leader dogs don’t give reward to an excited state. You should not either. Greet and love your dog when he arrives to his calm submissive state. That will be the time for the reward of love.

If turning your back to your dog does not work, push him off the minute he jumps on you and say “Off!”. Remember, you want to curb or stop the jumping so your guests are not mauled by a jumping dog. There definitely is a time to love and greet you dog, but when he is in an excited state, that will not be the time to reward him. You may love and greet him/her once he arrives in a calm submissive state. Soon you will see he greets you calmly because he had been rewarded before that way in the past.

Remember, all humans in your household have to be the pack leader for your dog to be stable. The pack leader commands respect from the non pack leader. Dogs come from being pack animals so they know expect that someone has to be the leader. If you and others are not then you your dog will attempt to be and he/she might develop into an unstable dog.
