I've been doing this for years because it is literally the only way to stop the body slams. I have had Great Danes, Labs and German Shepherds over the span of my adult life, and I'm only 100#... I can't take a heavy hit like that. This works quickly!
I know this video is old but I was wondering if using your knee to counter the jump sets you off balance at all? I have bad balance and can totally see myself getting taken out like that. 😅
I’ve also had some luck giving the dog “back”. When the dog jumps at me I turn completely around and stand still until the dog settles down. Dogs don’t like to be socially shunned; often the dog will realize I don’t like this behavior.
I tried something slightly different that worked very well. When a dog jumps on me I catch their front paws with my hands. They don’t reach my leg or chest (depending on the dog’s height). Then I squeeze their paws very, very lightly, barely any pressure at all. They find this uncomfortable and pull their paws out of my hands and go back down. They jump again, I catch their paws and squeeze very lightly. They pull their paws and go back down. After a few times you can see they want to jump but they don’t because they don’t want that feeling again. I don’t do anything verbal with it, I don’t even express disapproval. They just learn in a hurry they don’t like what happens when they jump on me and they stop.
It doesn't work on fast and smart dogs. There used to be also method to step on their back paw. I saw dog literally dancing to avoid the "smash" and still jumping.
Just think of a dog that launches into your 77-year-old mother. Well, that's exactly what almost happened to my mother from a dog I was dog-sitting. In fact, it was about to happen in front of the owner but I pretty much claimed my mother by stepping in front, waving a hand and saying ayh, ayh. The dog tried a few times more but settled when she knew it wasn't happening. (The owner has many problems with the dog but I had none. I'm not a trainer so didn't and don't feel right about giving unsolicited advice.)(except on TH-cam) These techniques are in no way abuse. When implemented correctly, they will keep both human and canine safe and balanced. Keep up the good work, Mr. Beckman.
Great job....sometimes people think its mean to stand your ground with a dog....you instantly protected your Mom .....and it sent a clear message..well done
My experience with my 80lb lab/maremma puppy is the same. He launches at me and others who greet him. He's a big powerful pup full of excitement and I'm a 68 yo woman. He could hurt someone. So, I've used your technique and it works wonderfully. Many of your other techniques for stopping play biting, pulling on the leash, etc work so well. And he still thinks I'm the cats pajamas 😁 Thank you!
I'm going to try this method on a 1 year old dog that I helped raised with a neighbor, because that dog is extremely hyperactive and loves to jump on every one. Thanks for your tips and no bullshit honest to the point training.
Our girl is always jumping- something that has helped- and incredibly quickly- is having her do a lot of downs (on a leash) and having her blanket on the floor instead of the couch. So interesting how her “being in a dogs place” - the floor- has changed some of her behaviors. It’s hard for me- I want her up by me- but we are retraining her that we have to ask her up. Thanks fir ANOTHER great one Joel!
Ive watched couple utube videos and like how you keep teaching dogs simple,no prong collars ecollars ect. This to me is for the average dog owner. Thank You.
3:13 A perfect example that shows how much you love your job, that face expression change and the surprised "oh my gosh" haha. Thanks for the content man, definitely one of the most useful stuff I've seen in youtube
Had to come back and comment because this is the *only* thing that has helped decrease my border collie's jumping. The leash method is great in theory but you need to have your dog on a leash all day (and somehow magically know when she's going to jump so it's in your hand). Guess what, border collies are smart. Leash in hand, not going to jump. This method is perfect; she's not bothered or traumatized, I can do it in the moment or with hands full (most often it's when we come in the door), and I've seen a real decrease in the couple of weeks I've been used it. Have tried so many other methods! Thank you!!!
desperately searched for something like this.. my lab mix is 10mos 80lbs, he has busted my lip twice by also launching himself into me right at my face😩. This one video told me to turn my back worst thing I could have ever done let me tell you😂🤭
Yes so true! I am a pretty positive trainer but sometimes being all positive just doesn’t work. I have two shepherds I work with and this Han really hurt! Have been doing this and it does work.
I love your approach. I do the same thing using my knee to train dogs not to jump. I'll also hook my thumb down into the collar while petting to prevent jumping, showing the dog that all good things happen with all four on the floor.
I do the thumb thing in the collar too but she doesn't care. Next time she'll try to jump again. It's been 6 months of this and she's still jumping like the first day we got her.
We love our 4 dogs tremendously. They are our world. But they get corrected physically whenever they do something that is not acceptable. No we don’t beat them but we will give correction the way you showed on your video. Our 3 older dogs are perfect angles, but our 1 year old Vizsla is still in training. Thank you for bringing reality to dog training.
Really liking your advice. At the dog daycare I typically turn away which works with some but not all. I’m going to try this approach with some of the more persistent jumpers. Thank you!
I can’t thank you enough for posting this. Others kept saying to turn my back which results in him jumping on my back. My puppy is 6 months old and 85 lbs, my entire body is full of bruises and cuts from his nails. He is over 5 ft tall when standing. Can you tell me how to block my upper body, that’s where he does the most damage? Your training videos have literally changed my life!
I love that you just freaking tell it like it is!!! There are SO MANY “trainers” here that DONT HAVE A CLUE! It’s excruciating to watch some of the people who ONLY use +R. Lacking the understanding/importance of balance & what dogs really need. Constant praise & treats, IMO, does not create a balanced dog. There also needs to be boundaries, discipline, follow through, assertiveness, consistency.
I can't help but giggle at Joel actively trying to get this dog to demonstrate her bad behavior, and she's sort of like "this is entrapment" and won't do it. :D
I'm going go try this on my lab/pit mix! It was fine when she was little but this girl is around 65 pounds now and just LOVES to launch into me it's terrible and I've got constant bruises on my legs. I can't wait to try this!!
Thank you thank you i just been doing this with storm i pratice this every day. He still did but he stop him self x though he done gd xx this is biggy for me as one things i bern struggling with x
I’ve been trying everything that trainers have said to do for over two years now and my Aussie still jumps! She has hurt my 80 year old mother many times by scratching the thin skin on her arms and caused gashes too many times. She doesn’t jump on me any more, but gotta get others to do this. That’s going to be near impossible.
This is great. I have a 6 month old golden retriever x Tibetan mastiff and when he wants attention he jumps and paws. What can I do about the pawing? Also would be interesting to see your thoughts in getting big puppies acclimated to gentle play with children. I have a 3yo toddler that the dog plays very well with but he also sometimes paws the child’s face or step on him and I’m not sure what to do about it.
I would love any tips for getting my terrier mix to stop jumping! She has done it since the day I met her; her foster dad let her out of the kennel, she ran up to me and jumped high enough I had to catch her. She jumps straight up in the air when I take her collar off the hook to go outside, has knocked kids down at the dog park (followed by the most obnoxious face licking 🤦🏻♀️). This method would work for certain jumps she does, but not others. Thanks for the amazing content! Other subscribers- appreciate the conversation!
Great advice. I have a 9 month old Bernedoodle who jumps and she also runs right into my 8 year old Great Pyrenees on purpose and hurts her. Then all hell breaks loose and the pyr goes after the smaller dog. I NEED to get it corrected!
Oh I'm gonna try this although you said not puppies. I have a 6 mth GS Rescue, Lexi who gets so excited to see people that she jumps up into people, she is now a 40lb dog and can really hurt you doing this, only going to get worse when 70lb! Nothing we have tried so far cuts through her excitement, we've thrown treats on the floor, shouted NO, DOWN, SIT, turned our backs facing the wall, blocking her with my body to stop her getting to people. 😅 Hope this works 🤞🏻
I've been watching your videos for a long time now. It has helped a lot with my older dog. But this method is not working with my 8 months old Australian Cattle dog (female). She jumped me like a trampoline with all 4 legs once from behind, once in front when I was putting on my coat and didn't see her coming. It hurt. Normally I do the knee up and walk into her and tell her "uhuh" or no but so far it hasn't worked. I'll keep doing it of course but wish there was something else I could do so she'd stop jumping up on me and everybody else. She's so excited to meet people.
ACDs are just extremely physical dogs. There is no other breed in the world quite like them. They're so smart, but also quirky and unique. They often require training methods that are designed specifically for the breed. If your girl is anything like my dude, putting a knee up just turns it into a game...the harder you go in with the knee, the harder they come back at ya...it's a game they'll never lose.
@@Chasenhaws You are so right! 😂 I had GSD's before and my old guy is supposed to be mixed GSD and ACD, so I was somewhat prepared for this girl. She's the smartest dog we've ever had. She can JUMP! I used to train with treats but with her I trained with toys and praise only and she has the most manners and listens really well. Right now we still have to work on her nipping, and although her pulling has gotten a lot better she's still doing it. She knows exactly how to behave to get even out the door, she's perfect in the driveway and now across the road to the sidewalk but after that it's a struggle. She also acts quite skittish around other dogs, even younger puppies than she is. Every day is a new experience with her. She keeps us on our toes. 😂
My boyfriend has a 5 year old Australian shepherd. He has literally trained her to jump up on him when he gets home. He pets her head and totally reinforces the behavior. What can I say to him to make him understand that this behavior isn't ok. She's an incredibly dominant dog.
I’m so glad I found you! We have a four month old bloodhound. She is 40 pounds now. I want to nip this now. You mentioned it isn’t puppy jumping, is there something different we should employ for a dog this young?
this worked for my 6 month lab. Had her for a week and she jumped non stop. All other methods did not work. Turning my back just resulted in my back getting scratched. She got knee’d 3 times. The first one took her by surprise and she squealed as she fell back down. By the 3rd time she knew i wasnt playing. Its been 3 days of no jumping.
Ya I have a 60lb Dobe puppy who does the launch. The stationary knee didn't work, Grabbing and walking her back on her hind paws didn't work. Will try this out, thanks
There is another way. I learned this from reading Brandon McMillan's "Lucky Dog". When they jump up... grab their front paws, hold on tight and walk them around. Go forward, go backward... keep doing it until they start trying to bite your hands and then go another minute. They do not like it and they learn to stop jumping on you. When you finally do let them go, say "OFF".
Hi! Any tips for working with a deaf dog that does this? I had learned the turn around method and it has not worked at all with my deaf Bulldog. I will try this with her. I am enjoying your videos.
How would you approach this if the dog not only jumps/lunges but also mouths/play-bites at the same time? Or say my dog jumps but my knee/"uh uh" puts him into a mouthing/play bite?
Great video and advises! My dog doesn‘t jump on us but only on guests and he is strong, big and overexcited. How could I train this in the best way then ? Thx
My greyhound jumps up at feeding time. He doesnt actually jump on me, but he is big enough to hurt someone else if he decides at one point to actually get closer with those long legs. Any ways to stop jumping from a distance?
My Doberman jumps up to me from the heel position when we're out walking...both front paws tucked in....big grin on his face..... he knows we're heading to the local park.... A nudge of approval I assume.. No body slams the knee method sorted that out...... Any suggestions to correct the sideway nudge would be most gratefully received ... Thanks Joel
I'de also like to know how to solve that issue. My dog also jumps on others. Problem is that I have several neighbors who really love him and they use to appear out of nowhere and approach him just like that. Few of them even pet him when he jumps on them. I tried to explain them but they seemed to be deaf. Now my dog jumps on everyone close enough, looking at him and talking. I don't allow it, of course when he's on the leash but it happens often in the dog park when he's off leash. In the middle of a game with another dog he notices a person standing by and looking at him (or them) while talking to anyone there and he jumps. I haven't found anyone talking about it.
My dog is a 10 month old husky and I've got him not to jump on me but him meeting new people is very difficult. Walking around strangers as well. He jumps at everyone . Im not very sure how to correct that. I usually try to keep walking ignoring the person but I don't think that works. I would love a tip on how to get this under control.
Ask friends to do this to your dog. A good correction afterwards by you (getting them, putting them down telling them jumping is not okay, works only if you queued the action to the word of course) can work as well but timing is essential.
My puppy is 15 weeks but an Australian kelpie so she is strong . She does massive jumps onto me and the bites and doesn’t let go of the clothes any tips
I just saw this video for the first time. We have a 10 year old Malshi that constantly jumps. How do I stop her from jumping? She is about 11 pounds. I didn't know how to train her and now she is teaching our new puppy bad habbits. New puppy is a pekingese shih tzu mix and is 4 months old.
beckman is such a good trainer. I wish he didn't have to defend his methods constantly. No one with any experience with dogs and 2 brain cells is going to look at that method and say it's mean. The Karens of positive reinforcement have taken control via the internet and essentially forced experienced trainers who get results to defend their methods.
I totally agree with this. But my dog doesn’t jump at me just at other people. Pretty hard to suggest they walk into him if they’re nervous. Any suggestions? Outside on a leash I control this but not when they visit my house
I've been doing this with my PWD, and it works for me, but she continues to jump on my mother NO MATTER WHAT. I would love to see a video with an obstinate dog that just won't take no for an answer.
At what age is this method appropriate? I did this with my old pit at about 1 year.. it worked. I now have a 6 month old puppy about 25 lbs. The jumping doesn't hurt but it needs to stop at some point. Should I wait until he's 9 months- 1 year?
Does this translate to other people? Like if I get my dog to not jump on me by doing this, will she then not jump on other people because of that or will everyone who knows her need to do that same thing with her? (Or an extension of that, if she meets a new person she'll jump on them when she first meets them)
My 6 month Goldendoodle on walks with pull the leash and then jump and latch on my arm. He is already 65 lbs and can reach my face. My arms are covered in bruises and scratches. Every time I turn my back or pushed him off it amps him up even more and he keeps coming back.
@@Drocks027 you too? I am just at a loss. I have talked to my vet, a former vet who lives down the street, the breeder, the groomer, and friends with well behaved dogs. They have all said that is just being a puppy. He is great with them but only like this towards me. I have tried the past two days of making myself Alpha by eating first, walking through a door first, make him move if he is in my way. Hard to tell if it is working yet because he is so young but already so big. I want a well balanced happy dog. But I just keep hearing I am doing everything right.
@@Lauren-yf8op Our puppy is also big. She is part Boxer part Great Pyrneese and already 55 pounds. I would say it does get better over time. She has stopped jumping and reacting to us on walks as much. we have been doing treat training with her but since we got her at 4 months I think a lot of it is just building a relationship. The trainer in this video does say that this type of training doesn't work until 9 months so I guess we both just have to wait for a little more maturity and trying redirection in the meantime.
Puppies get hyper when overtired, it could be that they are not sleeping enough. 4-6 months still needs about 18 hrs of sleep every 24 hrs. Make sure to step towards them when they jump. Invade their space, don't let them invade yours. Keep a house line on them (old leash with loop cut off) so you can tug them off you without touching them even more. And don't push them off with your hands. Super hyper and mischievous behavior that won't stop? They go in the crate with a chew bone or stuffed Kong, or both. Time to wind down.
Yep my mom worked with trainers who use to train police dogs and they always taught to raise the knee. My son has a 7 month old golden doodle that we’re training to not jump.
How do I get my dog to stop jumping on other people. She doesn’t jump on me anymore but does on others. I find it difficult to explain to them the method you suggest about moving toward them and putting a knee up. Also, she can jump from standing to 6 feet high without warning.
I've been using my palm. I'll switch to the knee. I notice he tries to use my arm as something to hold on to or help him stay up. He hardly ever jumps though so it's hard for me to teach. I get ready for it if he gets overly excited about a certain treat.
My Mars at 8 months old is bigger than Doby. How would you stop that coming at you? One of his Paws are bigger than all 4 of Doby's. He is HUGE. how do i stop his jumping and "nipping"? His mouth can engulf Doby's head. How do i stop his "nipping" and "puppy biting"?
If I did a video on CM I’d keep it very positive both because he’s a good trainer who has helped a lot of dogs and because that guy has received more hate in his life than anyone deserves, the crazies came after him like I’ve never seen.
@@BDTraining Can't say I'm shocked. Your approach (and CM's) are life-changing. It filters into EVERY aspect of my life. So I DO hope you do a positive reaction video!
@@BDTraining Great response, and your videos are helping me train my 16 months old GSD pup. Can you please make a video on how much exercise dogs need daily and the best ways to tire them out without causing them bad knees/elbows?
My problem is my friend’s dog is too large for putting my knee up (I’m very small) and he knocks me over. I’ll try doing it with the noise, but he doesn’t listen or respond well because she has not been consistent in training him.
We have a 2 year old husky that has stopped jumping on those of us in the house - but anytime a guest comes, he jumps at them. We try to anticipate it and step in whenever we can - but is there anyway we can stop the dog from doing this to guests/new folks that he meets? This happens only in the initial 5-10 minutes. After that he doesnt do it anymore. Thanks in advance.
Leash him whenever people come over. Keep him away from the door when people come over. Tug him off when he does jump. Have a friend come over to come in the door over and over to desensitize him and you can train him to calmly greet guests.
Keep a house line on them (a leash with no loop at the end) and tug them down when they jump, saying "off" or "ah-ah". Also don't let them greet guests at the door.
I have an 86lbs fourteen month old Dobie with so much energy. I've been knocked down 4 times in a week from this very thing. I have arthritis in my right knee and it's painful.
I have a 60lb female at almost 6 months old that is very strong and launches with her front paws underneath her a bit so she's not even trying to put her paws on your chest most of the time, she's literally launching into me. She's very hyper too, one of the reasons I'm looking forward to getting her spayed at about 1 year. I know she will calm down by 12 months but its the first 2 years that's always the most challenging.
My lab mix doesn't jump on my husband and I., but I had my sister over one day and she kept jumping at her towards her face. It was frustrating and nerve wrecking.. I did not know what to do except try and pull her away.. bad idea! I ended up pulling my back. I have a good feeling this will help tremendously next time she acts up.
I have a 4 yr old 60lb male Siberian husky build of solid muscle who LOVES to jump on me and LAUNCH himself onto me when I’m sleeping. I have so many bruises from him slamming his body and paws down on me when I’m laying down. Yesterday, I came into my room holding burning hot coffee and he JUMPED so high up onto me, spilling the burning coffee all over my new shirt and burning himself. 5 min later after I cleaned everything up, he is back to jumping on me full force. I will try this method when I’m walking/standing up straight, but what can I possibly do to stop him from hurting me when I’m laying down? I can’t find ANY help on how to stop him from jumping UP and DOWN and UP and DOWN on my body when I’m laying down. It hurts SO much and I’m so sick of it. If anyone has advice PLEASE HELP!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
How do I trading my hovawart not to bark at people when they come over? He’s around 10 months and we recently got him but he cant seem to stop barking at people when they come over but in public he doesn’t bark
my gsd gave me a big punch in the chin the other day and it swollen pretty bad, but he lunches so fast and runs away that I never have the time to put on my knie :(

Joel, every video is exactly what I'm looking for. And then I try the methods on my dog and they *all* work. Thank you. From all of us.
When the training for the dog works and your still training the humans… lol.
I've learned a lot from your videos Joel. Many thanks.
Man ur videos have been helping me so much with my rescue cattahoula thank you for your content and keep ot up

“Go nuts dude” gets me everytime. Great work Joel
A knee is the fastest most efficient way. Or grabbing the collar. U are not wrong for what ur doing. You are a great trainer thank u for the videos!
We love our 4 dogs tremendously. They are our world. But they get corrected physically whenever they do something that is not acceptable. No we don’t beat them but we will give correction the way you showed on your video. Our 3 older dogs are perfect angles, but our 1 year old Vizsla is still in training. Thank you for bringing reality to dog training.
Is that a 45 degree angle or 90 degree angle?
Appreciate your work
We're getting ready to adopt from the shelter and the pup we've picked out is a 10m old, excited boy lol this will come in handy to train him.
Everytime a dog jumps I walk into them and it automatically gets them off of u. Do it 5 to 10 time then they typically stop
Really liking your advice. At the dog daycare I typically turn away which works with some but not all. I’m going to try this approach with some of the more persistent jumpers. Thank you!

another technique I used walk into them they go backwards and sit or walk backwards and get the idea. repetition is key.
I love that you just freaking tell it like it is!!! There are SO MANY “trainers” here that DONT HAVE A CLUE!
It’s excruciating to watch some of the people who ONLY use +R. Lacking the understanding/importance of balance & what dogs really need. Constant praise & treats, IMO, does not create a balanced dog. There also needs to be boundaries, discipline, follow through, assertiveness, consistency.
I love this guy...he respects and love dogs, but doesn't forget the fact "they are still animals"
I can't help but giggle at Joel actively trying to get this dog to demonstrate her bad behavior, and she's sort of like "this is entrapment" and won't do it. :D
I’m gonna start this now. My 9month old 65lb German Shepherd mix does this.
I'm going go try this on my lab/pit mix! It was fine when she was little but this girl is around 65 pounds now and just LOVES to launch into me it's terrible and I've got constant bruises on my legs. I can't wait to try this!!
Thank you thank you i just been doing this with storm i pratice this every day. He still did but he stop him self x though he done gd xx this is biggy for me as one things i bern struggling with x
it worked with my dog!! thank you so much!!

That’s going to be near impossible.
Thankyou for this video
Nice! I will be trying it out soon :)
I love how you say it how it is
This is great. I have a 6 month old golden retriever x Tibetan mastiff and when he wants attention he jumps and paws. What can I do about the pawing? Also would be interesting to see your thoughts in getting big puppies acclimated to gentle play with children. I have a 3yo toddler that the dog plays very well with but he also sometimes paws the child’s face or step on him and I’m not sure what to do about it.
I would love any tips for getting my terrier mix to stop jumping! She has done it since the day I met her; her foster dad let her out of the kennel, she ran up to me and jumped high enough I had to catch her. She jumps straight up in the air when I take her collar off the hook to go outside, has knocked kids down at the dog park (followed by the most obnoxious face licking 🤦🏻♀️). This method would work for certain jumps she does, but not others. Thanks for the amazing content! Other subscribers- appreciate the conversation!
Great advice. I have a 9 month old Bernedoodle who jumps and she also runs right into my 8 year old Great Pyrenees on purpose and hurts her. Then all hell breaks loose and the pyr goes after the smaller dog. I NEED to get it corrected!
Thank you my gsp has this problem with strangers and most importantly with me and I’m pregnant so that’s definitely a no no
Joel, could you please do a video on "drop it"? Thanks from Chile
Oh I'm gonna try this although you said not puppies. I have a 6 mth GS Rescue, Lexi who gets so excited to see people that she jumps up into people, she is now a 40lb dog and can really hurt you doing this, only going to get worse when 70lb!
Nothing we have tried so far cuts through her excitement, we've thrown treats on the floor, shouted NO, DOWN, SIT, turned our backs facing the wall, blocking her with my body to stop her getting to people. 😅
Hope this works 🤞🏻
I love this balanced approach, for certain things my dog will 100% take the money and run
I've been watching your videos for a long time now. It has helped a lot with my older dog. But this method is not working with my 8 months old Australian Cattle dog (female). She jumped me like a trampoline with all 4 legs once from behind, once in front when I was putting on my coat and didn't see her coming. It hurt. Normally I do the knee up and walk into her and tell her "uhuh" or no but so far it hasn't worked. I'll keep doing it of course but wish there was something else I could do so she'd stop jumping up on me and everybody else. She's so excited to meet people.
ACDs are just extremely physical dogs. There is no other breed in the world quite like them. They're so smart, but also quirky and unique. They often require training methods that are designed specifically for the breed. If your girl is anything like my dude, putting a knee up just turns it into a game...the harder you go in with the knee, the harder they come back at ya...it's a game they'll never lose.
@@Chasenhaws You are so right! 😂 I had GSD's before and my old guy is supposed to be mixed GSD and ACD, so I was somewhat prepared for this girl. She's the smartest dog we've ever had. She can JUMP! I used to train with treats but with her I trained with toys and praise only and she has the most manners and listens really well. Right now we still have to work on her nipping, and although her pulling has gotten a lot better she's still doing it. She knows exactly how to behave to get even out the door, she's perfect in the driveway and now across the road to the sidewalk but after that it's a struggle. She also acts quite skittish around other dogs, even younger puppies than she is. Every day is a new experience with her. She keeps us on our toes. 😂
Method works, always have to do this with my grandmas dog, even with a dinner plate in hands, the dog won’t jump after a few walk ins 👍
My boyfriend has a 5 year old Australian shepherd. He has literally trained her to jump up on him when he gets home. He pets her head and totally reinforces the behavior. What can I say to him to make him understand that this behavior isn't ok. She's an incredibly dominant dog.
Send him this video?
change boyfriend
Have other people knee her when she jumps on them i guess
Just have an afternoon kneeing party while he's out
I’m so glad I found you! We have a four month old bloodhound. She is 40 pounds now. I want to nip this now.
You mentioned it isn’t puppy jumping, is there something different we should employ for a dog this young?
Similar method, just be a little softer.
Mine is same age as yours approximately 20 pounds but solid.
this worked for my 6 month lab. Had her for a week and she jumped non stop. All other methods did not work. Turning my back just resulted in my back getting scratched. She got knee’d 3 times. The first one took her by surprise and she squealed as she fell back down. By the 3rd time she knew i wasnt playing. Its been 3 days of no jumping.
Ya I have a 60lb Dobe puppy who does the launch. The stationary knee didn't work, Grabbing and walking her back on her hind paws didn't work. Will try this out, thanks
There is another way. I learned this from reading Brandon McMillan's "Lucky Dog". When they jump up... grab their front paws, hold on tight and walk them around. Go forward, go backward... keep doing it until they start trying to bite your hands and then go another minute. They do not like it and they learn to stop jumping on you. When you finally do let them go, say "OFF".
When do you use knee and when do you use leash method?
Hi! Any tips for working with a deaf dog that does this? I had learned the turn around method and it has not worked at all with my deaf Bulldog. I will try this with her. I am enjoying your videos.
Yea, the video is all tips for jumping
How would you approach this if the dog not only jumps/lunges but also mouths/play-bites at the same time? Or say my dog jumps but my knee/"uh uh" puts him into a mouthing/play bite?
Great video and advises! My dog doesn‘t jump on us but only on guests and he is strong, big and overexcited. How could I train this in the best way then ? Thx
he has a video on that posted four months ago, try looking through his channel!
@@mirasanyoura3383 thx, i found them already and watched them all through. Started training already. 💪🏻
What about jumping on the door or wall to look in window outside to look for you when waiting to be let in from outside?
Hey joel. I have a 7 month great pyrenees who loves to jump on us even when laying on the couch. Any suggestions?
My greyhound jumps up at feeding time. He doesnt actually jump on me, but he is big enough to hurt someone else if he decides at one point to actually get closer with those long legs. Any ways to stop jumping from a distance?
I want to train my dog to wait for my permission first before climbing on my lap when I'm sitting. Is there a variation of this that might work?
Yea I hate how my new big 10 month old Rotti jumps at me. It's like wtf!! Thanks bro I kinda thought about the knee and then saw your video.
Do we have to show relatives how to do this method to ? Or do we just practice with them and they will get it ?
where do I start with your channel for my dog?
My Doberman jumps up to me from the heel position when we're out walking...both front paws tucked in....big grin on his face..... he knows we're heading to the local park....
A nudge of approval I assume..
No body slams the knee method sorted that out......
Any suggestions to correct the sideway nudge would be most gratefully received ... Thanks Joel
Thats great for them jumping on you. My dog only jumps on others. How do you stop that. And they jump on my wife from behind.
I'de also like to know how to solve that issue. My dog also jumps on others. Problem is that I have several neighbors who really love him and they use to appear out of nowhere and approach him just like that. Few of them even pet him when he jumps on them. I tried to explain them but they seemed to be deaf. Now my dog jumps on everyone close enough, looking at him and talking. I don't allow it, of course when he's on the leash but it happens often in the dog park when he's off leash. In the middle of a game with another dog he notices a person standing by and looking at him (or them) while talking to anyone there and he jumps. I haven't found anyone talking about it.
Keep a leash on them and tug them down when they jump on others. Step on the leash if you want to stand and talk.
@@lindenpeters2601 yes
You tell everybody to do the same, common sense is lost this days
My dog is a 10 month old husky and I've got him not to jump on me but him meeting new people is very difficult. Walking around strangers as well. He jumps at everyone . Im not very sure how to correct that. I usually try to keep walking ignoring the person but I don't think that works. I would love a tip on how to get this under control.
Ask friends to do this to your dog. A good correction afterwards by you (getting them, putting them down telling them jumping is not okay, works only if you queued the action to the word of course) can work as well but timing is essential.
My puppy is 15 weeks but an Australian kelpie so she is strong . She does massive jumps onto me and the bites and doesn’t let go of the clothes any tips
Yessss my American Bully does this too much OMG!
You made a passing comment, "This is not puppy jumping ". How would you stop the puppy from jumping? Thank you.
I just saw this video for the first time. We have a 10 year old Malshi that constantly jumps. How do I stop her from jumping? She is about 11 pounds. I didn't know how to train her and now she is teaching our new puppy bad habbits. New puppy is a pekingese shih tzu mix and is 4 months old.
beckman is such a good trainer. I wish he didn't have to defend his methods constantly. No one with any experience with dogs and 2 brain cells is going to look at that method and say it's mean. The Karens of positive reinforcement have taken control via the internet and essentially forced experienced trainers who get results to defend their methods.
should we do anything about puppy jumping? if so, what?
I totally agree with this. But my dog doesn’t jump at me just at other people. Pretty hard to suggest they walk into him if they’re nervous. Any suggestions? Outside on a leash I control this but not when they visit my house
I wonder if getting between the guest and the dog and blocking with your body until they're calm could help.
I've been doing this with my PWD, and it works for me, but she continues to jump on my mother NO MATTER WHAT. I would love to see a video with an obstinate dog that just won't take no for an answer.
At what age is this method appropriate? I did this with my old pit at about 1 year.. it worked. I now have a 6 month old puppy about 25 lbs. The jumping doesn't hurt but it needs to stop at some point. Should I wait until he's 9 months- 1 year?
He says do the same thing but softer, not as harsh for puppies.
Does this translate to other people? Like if I get my dog to not jump on me by doing this, will she then not jump on other people because of that or will everyone who knows her need to do that same thing with her? (Or an extension of that, if she meets a new person she'll jump on them when she first meets them)
My 6 month Goldendoodle on walks with pull the leash and then jump and latch on my arm. He is already 65 lbs and can reach my face. My arms are covered in bruises and scratches. Every time I turn my back or pushed him off it amps him up even more and he keeps coming back.
yeah corrective training also amps my 6 month puppy up too.
@@Drocks027 you too? I am just at a loss. I have talked to my vet, a former vet who lives down the street, the breeder, the groomer, and friends with well behaved dogs. They have all said that is just being a puppy. He is great with them but only like this towards me. I have tried the past two days of making myself Alpha by eating first, walking through a door first, make him move if he is in my way. Hard to tell if it is working yet because he is so young but already so big. I want a well balanced happy dog. But I just keep hearing I am doing everything right.
@@Lauren-yf8op Our puppy is also big. She is part Boxer part Great Pyrneese and already 55 pounds. I would say it does get better over time. She has stopped jumping and reacting to us on walks as much. we have been doing treat training with her but since we got her at 4 months I think a lot of it is just building a relationship. The trainer in this video does say that this type of training doesn't work until 9 months so I guess we both just have to wait for a little more maturity and trying redirection in the meantime.
Puppies get hyper when overtired, it could be that they are not sleeping enough. 4-6 months still needs about 18 hrs of sleep every 24 hrs. Make sure to step towards them when they jump. Invade their space, don't let them invade yours. Keep a house line on them (old leash with loop cut off) so you can tug them off you without touching them even more. And don't push them off with your hands. Super hyper and mischievous behavior that won't stop? They go in the crate with a chew bone or stuffed Kong, or both. Time to wind down.
Yep my mom worked with trainers who use to train police dogs and they always taught to raise the knee. My son has a 7 month old golden doodle that we’re training to not jump.
How do I get my dog to stop jumping on other people. She doesn’t jump on me anymore but does on others. I find it difficult to explain to them the method you suggest about moving toward them and putting a knee up. Also, she can jump from standing to 6 feet high without warning.
I've been using my palm. I'll switch to the knee. I notice he tries to use my arm as something to hold on to or help him stay up. He hardly ever jumps though so it's hard for me to teach. I get ready for it if he gets overly excited about a certain treat.
What are you thoughts of using a bonker?
It’s not really my thing
My Mars at 8 months old is bigger than Doby. How would you stop that coming at you? One of his Paws are bigger than all 4 of Doby's. He is HUGE. how do i stop his jumping and "nipping"? His mouth can engulf Doby's head. How do i stop his "nipping" and "puppy biting"?
How do you keep your dog from trying to chase vehicle's when walking them even if they walked beside you with a loose leash?
Can you do a reaction video to one of Cesar's videos? Maybe pointing out what works really well OR how you would do something differently?
If I did a video on CM I’d keep it very positive both because he’s a good trainer who has helped a lot of dogs and because that guy has received more hate in his life than anyone deserves, the crazies came after him like I’ve never seen.
@@BDTraining Can't say I'm shocked. Your approach (and CM's) are life-changing. It filters into EVERY aspect of my life. So I DO hope you do a positive reaction video!
@@BDTraining I appreciate your response about Cesar.
Your response is lovely. ❤️
@@BDTraining Great response, and your videos are helping me train my 16 months old GSD pup. Can you please make a video on how much exercise dogs need daily and the best ways to tire them out without causing them bad knees/elbows?
What about with shorter/smaller dogs?
My problem is my friend’s dog is too large for putting my knee up (I’m very small) and he knocks me over. I’ll try doing it with the noise, but he doesn’t listen or respond well because she has not been consistent in training him.
We have a 2 year old husky that has stopped jumping on those of us in the house - but anytime a guest comes, he jumps at them. We try to anticipate it and step in whenever we can - but is there anyway we can stop the dog from doing this to guests/new folks that he meets? This happens only in the initial 5-10 minutes. After that he doesnt do it anymore. Thanks in advance.
Leash him whenever people come over. Keep him away from the door when people come over. Tug him off when he does jump. Have a friend come over to come in the door over and over to desensitize him and you can train him to calmly greet guests.
@@lindenpeters2601 Thank you
Great advice! What if the dog doesn't jump on you but does jump on new people?
Keep a house line on them (a leash with no loop at the end) and tug them down when they jump, saying "off" or "ah-ah". Also don't let them greet guests at the door.
Perfect timing 5 mo . Jumping some especially non other people
What about when little dogs jump, like chihuahuas or jack Russells?
I have an 86lbs fourteen month old Dobie with so much energy.
I've been knocked down 4 times in a week from this very thing. I have arthritis in my right knee and it's painful.
I have a 60lb female at almost 6 months old that is very strong and launches with her front paws underneath her a bit so she's not even trying to put her paws on your chest most of the time, she's literally launching into me. She's very hyper too, one of the reasons I'm looking forward to getting her spayed at about 1 year. I know she will calm down by 12 months but its the first 2 years that's always the most challenging.
12 months? Lol large breeds don't fully mature til 3 or 4 years old. That's when they calm down.
This is literally what I do with mine to keep them from running into me. Both of them have learned not to jump at me.
I will definitely try this out, because the turn the back thingy sure does nothing for my puppy 😿
My lab mix doesn't jump on my husband and I., but I had my sister over one day and she kept jumping at her towards her face. It was frustrating and nerve wrecking.. I did not know what to do except try and pull her away.. bad idea! I ended up pulling my back. I have a good feeling this will help tremendously next time she acts up.
Watch a video I did about a year ago called “don’t jump on the guests” I love the method I outlined in that video. Hope that helps.
@@BDTraining I definitely will. Thank you!
I have a 4 yr old 60lb male Siberian husky build of solid muscle who LOVES to jump on me and LAUNCH himself onto me when I’m sleeping. I have so many bruises from him slamming his body and paws down on me when I’m laying down. Yesterday, I came into my room holding burning hot coffee and he JUMPED so high up onto me, spilling the burning coffee all over my new shirt and burning himself. 5 min later after I cleaned everything up, he is back to jumping on me full force. I will try this method when I’m walking/standing up straight, but what can I possibly do to stop him from hurting me when I’m laying down? I can’t find ANY help on how to stop him from jumping UP and DOWN and UP and DOWN on my body when I’m laying down. It hurts SO much and I’m so sick of it. If anyone has advice PLEASE HELP!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Is this approach for dogs a year and up?
I’d say 9m and up
@@BDTraining my little guy is only 7 mos, so I’ll continue with the puppy approach. 😊
How do I trading my hovawart not to bark at people when they come over? He’s around 10 months and we recently got him but he cant seem to stop barking at people when they come over but in public he doesn’t bark
I'll try to make a video about this soon
Yes please my 1yo GS just barks☹️ Barks barks barks barks
What do you do if the dog sits or lays down on people that are sitting on the couch? He doesn’t do it with me anymore but will to people visiting.
my gsd gave me a big punch in the chin the other day and it swollen pretty bad, but he lunches so fast and runs away that I never have the time to put on my knie :(
My 6 mo old Goldendoodle jumps on people. Yes, he's a pippy but he's too big for this foolisness. Is he old enough for your correction method?
Great video! Not mean. Dogs needs discipline . Jumping is not only annoying but dangerous
