Thank you, I appreciate the kind words 🙂 I thought it'd be helpful to hear it described in a stepwise manner on this video before seeing full sessions in the next video I share!
Thank you for this excellent video. I find that using that default sit to stop many behaviors works so well. My 5 month old standard poodle responds very well to this approach. Love all your videos.
I needed this today. We've adopted a 7 month old rescue and he's a big dog already. Thankfully a little bit scrawny because his jumping up is incessant! Biting too. It's only day one and I feel helpless but I'm going to try this. I'm scratched all over and sore. He'll learn though. He's a young boy so he needs the time and effort ❤ Thank you.
Good on you for adopting & choosing kind methods of training him (despite your own pain!!) ❤️ I had outright bruises from Louie, so I can relate. I hope this tutorial helps!
As an instructor myself you have done a lovely job explaining it. Timing & CONSISTENCY (& having the dog’s focus) are key to how quickly the dog learns manners & all other things the owner/s teach.
I have been using this method for my clients' dogs for years. To boil it down I simply tell the clients to teach a behaviour that is incompatible with jumping up. That is either a sit, or a down. This can work well, but the client has to have good mechanics which of course includes good timing. It sometimes takes the clients a while to get their timing good enough for the dog to understand that he is being rewarded for four on the floor.
We used these methods and they really worked. So nice not to get mugged by our dog every time we come home. Or come back into the room after being gone for a whole minute!😂. Thank for sharing these techniques. 😊
My bestie just adopted a pit bull mix who was in the shelter for 2 years before getting adopted. He's 75 lbs so it's hard not to say "no or get down". My friend has several years of applied behavior analysis experience with children on the spectrum and she keeps telling me how similar the concepts are even with a dog. Her experience has helped her tremendously with her new pup. The jumping is still happening , though so I will send this to her for sure! Great video!
It's so true! I'm almost experiencing things in reverse as a new mom... realizing that so much of the tools and mindset I use in force free training transfer nicely to parenting too!
Thanks. My dog is dealing with lots of change as my husband is on home hospice with other people walking her & strangers cone & going. Her barking & jumping is difficult. Thank you for encouraging instructions.
@@happyhoundsdogtraining I have a dog trainer who is very much like you in the way she helps train my year old pup. It’s so helpful to have new ideas who she approves of. She sent me your channel!
Thank you! Food motivation DEFINITELY helps you get more quick training repetitions in, but it's still possible to train without treats 🙂 Typically dogs jump from overexcitement & wanting attention... if the jumping NEVER gets attention and the alternative behaviour (such as sitting) DOES, the dog will still learn! I eventually phase out treats for jump training anyhow since I know that most people the dog encounters won't have treats in hand 😂
Yes this was very helpful my self and my daughter and her husband just purchased two Malinois they are jumpers we have not brought them home yet next week . I’ve watched so many videos uh . But I really find yours not so complicated and overwhelming . I have trained my lab years ago, so I have a good start, and my daughter wants to take them for training. But I’ll be watching you , thanks so much Cricket
This was refreshing to watch, and empowering for me an owner to a puppy! Thanks for taking the time! Once this new behavior has been reinforced, in theory, when my family of 5 come walking through the front door for a holiday event - should the puppy apply the same response to seeing all of them? I'm afraid the excitement will get the best of him for larger groups of guests or people he doesn't see every day like he does me.
You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊 I made a separate video for how I then generalize this skill to guests (including family members that aren’t home as often). I’ll link that here! How to Train Your Dog to STOP Jumping On Guests: th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
So I should always have treats on me for when I greet my dog? At what point I don’t need the treats? I love your videos! Thanks for all you do to help us ❤
Thanks, I'm so glad you find them helpful 🙂 I would suggest starting training by always having treats when you enter the home, yes! You'll be able to do quick reward repetitions this way, so the jumping gets solved faster. Once you've progressed to your dog sitting without cueing (step 3), I'd start phasing out the treat rewards. Start by only offering a treat every second time, and then less & less. This is one behaviour I like eventually phasing out all treat rewards for simply because I don't want dogs expecting them from every guest or person they meet! Eventually the attention & pets are the reward rather than food 🙂 Hope that makes sense!
It really does! Thanks And do not pay attention to the internet trolls! Haters got to hate right? So please keep going and keep doing what you do, at least I really do appreciate what you do! ♥️♥️✨
It's really clear to see how the dog is making the changes. I like that you work in the real scenario so that we can see how excited the dog is and how he can learn an auto sit. Thank you for making this video. I'm sharing it with my Canines For Christ Therapy Dog Friends.
Thank you so much for sharing it! When I started my channel I felt it would be valuable to show genuine transformations with force free training rather than just demoing the process with already trained dogs 🙂 Gives a more realistic example of how viewers journey at home will look!
You can start right away, and young puppies often learn this quickly ☺️ Just a warning though they can go through a transition phase around 8-9 months where it’ll seem like they’ve forgotten all training 😂 It’s easier to do a skills refresh at that point than start from scratch though!
Great video! Do you have any tips about dogs that jump you fom behind? That's what my daughter's mixed black lab/boxer does. I can stop her from jumping on me from the front, but not behind me. I never know when she is going to do it. She is 50 pounds and I am afraid she is going to knock me over. She is the same height as me when she jumps- 5 feet. She is only 6 months old.
Thanks! As soon as I started reading your comment I was going to ask if it's a young puppy because it's such a puppy thing to do 😂 The issue is if it gets the dog attention it can become a learned behaviour they carry into older years. In this case I'd focus on a two-person tactic: Have the pup on leash with your daughter holding the leash so pup can't pursue you as you leave. As soon as the pup looks at you as you leave (but is still calm), have your daughter mark & reward that. It builds a reinforcement history of NOT pursuing the moving person. Once that's easy it's helpful to practice higher stimulation versions such as you even jogging or skipping away. Then unclip her and transition to rewarding her for coming with you if interested, but without jumping up.
Hi, Thank you for your response. Her dog is not jumping up from behind when I leave. It can be anytime during the visit. The first time, I was puttng some things on the kitchen countertop when I entered her house. . I was completely surprised that the dog jumped up at me from behind. The second time I was in the backyard and I turned my back when her puppy again jumped on me from behind. I was startled and glad I did not fall. I told my daughter that I am afraid her 50 pound puppy is going to make me fall one day.
@@joannporter8040 I didn't mean leave as in necessarily "leave the house or room". More so anytime your back is turned and the opportunity to jump on you from behind presents itself to the puppy = training opportunity to reinforce an alternative behaviour. It sounds like the puppy is also doing it as an excited greeting or way to grab your attention, so adding to my above comment: at times you're stationary and can hear the puppy approaching, I would turn to face it and follow the cueing/training suggested in the video. When your back is turned, your daughter could also approach with the dog on leash and SHE does the cueing in this video to request the dog to sit before you turn to greet/work through the rest of the steps. In this case I'd be using the leash as a safety tool/management setup so the puppy can't jump up and hurt you. Between you & your daughter you should be able to train an alternative behaviour & teach the puppy how to politely greet people/ask for attention.
Hello, how do you practice this if your dog never jumps on you at home, only when guests arrive? I recently became certified as a dog trainer but struggle with this at home as I don’t have ways to practice this when living in the country except for when actual guests arrive. Thanks Paula
Great question! I made a follow-up video about addressing jumping on guests or during higher stimulation situations that I think will help. I'll link it here: th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
I have a 5 1/2 month old puppy I adopted from a shelter. My focus is to get her to quit jumping. Sitting should come first, right? What type of treat do you suggest?
Yes, train sit first! I'll link my tutorial for that here: th-cam.com/video/hD_1QJdehak/w-d-xo.html And I typically divide “dog treats” into three value categories: 1) Low value: kibble, fruit/vegetable dog treats, milk bones, etc 2) High value: freeze-dried beef liver, single ingredient or pure meat dog treats, soft & stinky dog treats, etc 3) Very high value: cheese cubes, boiled & shredded chicken, ground beef, roasted pork chop, etc I suggest using level 2 treats most of the time you're training with the occasional level 3 as an extra surprise 🙂
I personally try staying away from the 'sitting' command, i altered it to 'wait'. Reason being, some of the dogs i work with in the rescue are prone to hind leg/hip issues, continuously getting them to sit and stand can aggrevate the problem and accelerate it. Specially GS's or members of the Mastiff group. I do use 'sit', specially with high energy jumpers or visual prey drive breeds, but the majority of the ones i work with respond just as well with 'wait' as the others do with 'sit'. The obediance level remains relatively the same in relation to moving away temptation, in some circumstances the obediance level increases with 'wait' as they understand just because they are standing does not mean they can move off or engage in a distraction..... Louie is a great case and i enjoyed the way you explained your approach. I very rarely subscribe to 'training' channels, as a very large % of them are absolutely full of shite 💩however, yours i felt warranted a click and a like...
Very good video and very informative. This should help quite a lot of people with their friends. However with that said, when it comes to Pitties. It does take a bit more firm style. Not aggressive or harmful, just very different ingrained genetics that needs a slightly different approach. That said, after the initial process with them of emotional bonding and becoming their style of submissive which is where they are more comfortable. The tactics in this video will also be very helpful with them.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, but I would disagree with trying to label different breeds as automatically needing different tactics. I've worked with many pitbulls (including one in a filmed upcoming dog-dog aggression series) with precisely this method and it worked like a charm!
@@happyhoundsdogtraining Yes I've worked with many myself, and this is exactly what I've found. Pitties are my specialty as I can't stand to see the irrational fear most seem to have towards them.
Our golden is tough. If a person is across the street she'll know the person is there. But if she gets the chance to visit then she pulls. She is told to sit and she'll comply. The issue comes when she is close to the people. She'll jump and try to mouth things on the ground out of excitement. If you ever saw the Flintstones with Dino jumping on Fred, that's my greeting every time I enter the house. This is what I have to stop. If I can get this then she's perfect. She is well behaved all around except for the excitement when getting close to other people
I LOVE the Flintstones comparison because I can picture exactly what you mean 😂 This video should help with her jumping on you, and I have a separate video about how I then train the same skill with house guests (th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html). On walks in general I personally prefer not to ask the dog to pre-sit when people are approaching since it's often hard for them to hold that for long (they become like coiled little springs haha). I have a neutrality in motion tutorial coming out June 7th that I think will help you a LOT! It focuses on neutrality to dogs, but it's the same method I use to train dogs to simply walk past humans without a care on sidewalks 🙂
Can you send me your verydetailed HAPPY Training for my two dogs they are of the age of 1 year and 8 month old same age please ma'am if you could also send me a detailed list of the steps also thank you and God bless
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by sending you "very detailed happy training", but if you want to read a blog about the method I'll link that here: happyhoundsdogtraining.ca/3-easy-steps-to-stop-dog-jumping-on-you/
100% fair! Jumping can definitely get dangerous. Once you work through these steps I'd also check out this video (jumping on guests) so you can enlist a few people to help proof the behaviour 🙂 th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
You both need to meet my sisters 1 & 1/2 year old lab Ronan. Was there today cleaning up after the storms we had Memorial day and you would swear I got in a fight with a lion. My arms are bruised all over and have lacerations up and down from his nails ripping the skin. I've tried the ignoring and turning and walking away. Which only works till he gets in front of me. When he was a pup he went for obedience training and did learn basic commands which I'm sure have not been followed through with.
We have two Goldendoddles and its very hard to train them. One jumps when greeting and the female pees when she greets. She is not a jumper. The male is 1 and a half years and the female just turned 3. Is there an easy way to teach them?
If both dogs are problematic greeters I'd suggest trying to train 1 at a time. Make sure that they can both follow the steps in this current video with you/your direct family, then enlist a few guests to help you with this: How to Train Your Dog to STOP Jumping On Guests th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html. For the dog that pees I'd also closely watch her body language to see if the peeing is an excitement or fear based response.
What is the best way to train friends ? Sometimes we’re in a situation where the dog is not inside or on leash and he jumps on certain friends who lean over him, laugh, pet him, shove him off, say down, off, etc. Is this going to transfer to those situations?
I will try and reapeat. I made the mistake when he was little and excited. He’s still little but his claws scratch me. He also get excited when someone he knows comes in. Will definitely try this method to undo what I’ve created! Thanks
It's so common to make that mistake when they're puppies, but you can definitely reverse it with training 🙂 Once you work through this video I'd also suggest enlisting a few friends or family members to train him not to jump on guests. This video explains how: th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
You stated that if they jump on you, turn your back to them and slightly walk away. I have 2 great Danes, and I'm 5'2". Mine jump when I come home. When I turn my back I get paws and dane heads to the back and head. Any suggestions?
Top of my mind: 1) I always suggest working with each dog individually until a base level of skills are trained. Two large dogs could be highly overwhelming (especially with your size) and they do tend to get each other even more worked up. Louie & his brother Diesel needed to be trained separately not to jump, then were combined. 2) I'd encourage the use of a barrier such as the baby gate in this video. It allows you to practice multiple repetitions of entering the house, requesting the behaviour you want, then being able to walk away and repeat until the dog calms down (and blocks the dog from actually being able to jump on your back/head as you turn). After a few reps & the dog calming down, then enter fully. 3) Look at my reply to Joannporter below if having a second person available to help train is an option for you.
What are your recommendations for dogs that haven't had reward/treat training before and become highly aroused and over threshold during training sessions?
My puppy learned to jump in a shelter that keeps dogs/puppies in pens where staff and visitors lean over to pet them and so they stand on hind legs to reach people. I wish they would employ your techniques from the start.
Sooo frustrating. Getting attention from strangers can be such an exciting reward, so I can definitely see that developing undesirable jumping behaviours quickly!
I talk about it more in this jumping tutorial video (th-cam.com/video/4RpoI1bzxyo/w-d-xo.html) but I strongly encourage training dogs separately until there's a base level of skills, then combining dogs into one session. Both Louie & his brother Diesel were horrendous jumpers and I would've been pummelled trying to work them both at the same time PLUS dogs often learn at different rates so individual training gets faster results since your timing is more precise 😊
I have adopted a 7 month springer spaniel who is goid in lots of ways but does jump up including on my 3 year old grandson so I sm desperate to try this. Nothing in the last 3 weeks since I got her has worked.
Help! I can't find any force free dog trainers in MA or NH; they are all "balanced trainers" who list all over their websites about how "correction is often necessary" and how "positive only trainers" as they call it are "ineffective" which doesn't mesh well with my understanding of dog psychology
Lots of locations or credential organizations have their own lists (example in Alberta we have the force free alliance with lots of trainers listed). However, if you have Facebook I’d encourage you to check out the group “Positive Force Free R+ Dog Training Library”. Lots of helpful resources AND people often post asking for trainers in their areas 😊
What you need to understand about balanced trainers is that they all start with positive training. At least that's how it's supposed to be. They may, however, use leash pressure to communicate with the dog. But this is done in a non-aversive way. It's sort of like just giving a guiding hand. After that, if the dog has issues as well as a temperament where treats or toys don't work, then that's when other techniques are used. Their training techniques are TAILORED to the INDIVIDUAL dog. Balance trainers do not limit themselves to just one training style. Those who call themselves balance trainers and actually do abuse the dogs are not trainers at all. You just need to weed them out, which is no small task. Good luck with finding a suitable trainer for your dog 😊
I'd also like to add that a "balanced" trainer who says positive training is ineffective as a general statement is someone to run away from. Real balanced trainers will acknowledge that for some dogs, maybe even for most dogs, positive only training is effective. What they may say is that positive only may take a lot longer with the more stubborn dogs. And that could put a strain on the client's resources. ANY trainer who tries to bring himself up by putting down other trainers someone to be avoided.
They're rescues that came in very young with no info on parents, so his guardian isn't completely sure what breed mix! Louie & his brother Diesel also look quite different from each other.
I'd encourage you to change how you're thinking about it... the treat shouldn't be a bribe to GET the dog to stop jumping, but instead it's a reward for offering the desirable behaviour that you want instead (such as sitting). But to answer your question: nope! Once any behaviour is proofed I phase out the majority of treat rewards. Dogs often jump because they're excited and want attention, so eventually those can become the reward 😊
My dogs dont jump on me…but they jump on my kids when they come in the house and if someone approaches them on the street, they will jump. What is your advice for stopping the jumping out in public when it’s random.
My 6 month old border collie/lab cross will jump up at visitors and strangers in the street. I ask her to sit, which she does, but the moment I release her from the sit, she jumps again. Any tips please?
I made a follow-up video about how I generalize this skill to jumping on guests/other people 😊 I'll link it here: th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
My dog jumps on me all the time and actually hurts me with his claws scratching the skin off my arms or actually jumping on me when I am in bed, often landing on my stomach. He is a 6 mo goldendoodle. He knows sit command but how can I stop this jumping when I am off guard.
That sounds painful! Few thoughts to help until you train him more desirable default behaviours: - Make sure his nails are well trimmed to help immediately decrease discomfort - If his nails already are short and it still scratches that much, temporarily using dog booties on the front paws until he's better trained can help - Use a leash (if two people are available) or a baby gate to minimize how much he CAN jump on you during training - Don't let him into zones (like the bedroom) where he can jump on you unexpectedly unless you're actively doing training at that time. Once more desirable behaviours are taught you can phase out anything you've used as management!
Quite a common problem because new people can be so exciting for puppies! I suggest watching this video: Dog Jumps on People? Try THIS to Stop Dog From Jumping On Guests th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html It explains how to enlist a few trusted people to help your dog generalize the sitting rather than jumping ☺️
Do you mean when guests come in? If it seems to be an attention grabbing behaviour I'd search "force free demand barking". I don't have a tutorial for that yet but I should add it to my list 😊
Everytime a dog jumps on me I fold both arms imfront of me become a statue and stare straight ahead. Everytime the dog immediately sits. Dog owners are always fascinated when their dog responds to that technique. once the dog sits then i will reward with a calm pet. Starts jumping repeat
We do the same. Turn our back to him or just stand still. Don’t speak at all, no yelling and no praise. They very quickly find they don’t get the attention. Our dog is to big to allow jumping as someone would get knocked down. Once he realizes that he will,get attention when he calms down then we pet and praise him. This took us about a week and he stopped without being mean to him. He runs to meet us when we come in and wiggles all happy and we love on him but he does not jump on us.
Getting a reaction from you by your grabbing clothes can quickly turn into a reward for your pup! I'd use 2-person training with a leash (so one person can retreat where the pup can't follow) or use barriers like baby gates that you can step over. If puppy biting is a concern I have a video on that as well: th-cam.com/video/T5WLnCXybXg/w-d-xo.html
Other people are unfortunately always training our dog, even if we don't think of it that way. Example: if your dog jumps on someone and they pet it (because they're hoping that'll prevent it from jumping on them again), that's reinforcement and training, even if they're not meaning to do so. I'd suggest making sure your dog is solid on this method for jumping, then watch this video for how I incorporate guests into the training: th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
We have a Texas healer who goes bananas when strangers pull in, or knock on door. I like his natural instinct to protect, but how do I make him listen to commands while he's in this attack mode?
If he's already wildly over threshold (th-cam.com/video/G1UVxRIBMEs/w-d-xo.html) it's not an ideal time to try training in the moment. Instead I'd work on conditioning calmer responses to those situations in a more stepwise way. I've filmed two window reactivity videos (one to sights, one to sounds) that I'm hoping to release in the next few months. I think those will help you a lot, but it may be worth searching out other trainers videos on that topic in the mean time 😊
I'd check out these two videos: 1) Train your dog not to jump on house guests: th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html 2) Neutrality training: th-cam.com/video/-O1u3T3zS2M/w-d-xo.html. That video focuses on neutrality to dogs, but same principles could be used for keeping your dog focused on you rather than strangers.
Many years ago we started teaching our dogs to sit using a constant hand signal and it has been very helpful because they learn to focus on us and our hand instead of just using a verbal cue/command 😮 getting them to focus in a noisy chaotic environment like holidays or birthdays seems to be very helpful for us anyway 😮 and like with children we try to focus more on positive behavior and always reward that we try to ignore bad behavior which is difficult at times that is another reason we like to teach our puppers hand signals to especially to try to keep or get their attention. Dogs are like a perpetual 3 year old toddler any reaction even negative attention is better than no attention 😢
My dog doesn’t jump on me, the person who does the actual training. It’s guests and the other two people in the house, who I don’t trust to follow the training. Off to watch the guests video.
Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed the video enough to share, and I appreciate the feedback. Sometimes (especially when filming POV style) I completely forget about taking a photo for the thumbnail. I'm definitely a dog trainer, not a videographer 😂 I'm saving Louie's pic for the next unedited jump session video so you'll likely prefer that thumbnail!
This didn't make any sense. Youre asking him to sit when they jump but at the same time you said not even to say no when they jump, thats still giving them attention.
I'll respond as if you phrased this more politely as a comment asking for clarification. Asking the dog to sit isn't simply giving them attention... it's asking for a NEW action from them that's incompatible with jumping, and then the attention and reward is delivered when the dog offers this new desirable behaviour instead jumping up. Saying "no" doesn't give your dog any idea what action or behaviour you actually want from them INSTEAD of jumping. I like to keep training clear and consistent by using cues that let the dog know what I'm hoping from them in each scenario.
What is the best way to train friends ? Sometimes we’re in a situation where the dog is not inside or on leash and he jumps on certain friends who lean over him, laugh, pet him, shove him off, say down, off, etc. Is this going to transfer to those situations?

I love how structured you explain and show everything with one dog.
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words 🙂 I thought it'd be helpful to hear it described in a stepwise manner on this video before seeing full sessions in the next video I share!
Thank you for this excellent video. I find that using that default sit to stop many behaviors works so well. My 5 month old standard poodle responds very well to this approach. Love all your videos.
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it ☺️
I also have a 5 month old standard poodle and am very excited to try this method!
Such a well presented explanation of a very common problem! Well done 👍
Thank you so much!! Hearing that means a lot 🙂
This really helped thank you! It makes sense like any other addiction that you have to give them something to do instead
Great video for simple calm training
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it 🙂
I needed this today. We've adopted a 7 month old rescue and he's a big dog already. Thankfully a little bit scrawny because his jumping up is incessant! Biting too. It's only day one and I feel helpless but I'm going to try this. I'm scratched all over and sore. He'll learn though. He's a young boy so he needs the time and effort ❤ Thank you.
Good on you for adopting & choosing kind methods of training him (despite your own pain!!) ❤️ I had outright bruises from Louie, so I can relate. I hope this tutorial helps!
How’s it going with your dog now a days?
As an instructor myself you have done a lovely job explaining it. Timing & CONSISTENCY (& having the dog’s focus) are key to how quickly the dog learns manners & all other things the owner/s teach.
Thank you 🙏 I 100% agree!
I have been using this method for my clients' dogs for years. To boil it down I simply tell the clients to teach a behaviour that is incompatible with jumping up. That is either a sit, or a down. This can work well, but the client has to have good mechanics which of course includes good timing. It sometimes takes the clients a while to get their timing good enough for the dog to understand that he is being rewarded for four on the floor.
Proper timing is SO important! I find there's a huge difference client to client in how much training & teaching that requires to perfect.
We used these methods and they really worked. So nice not to get mugged by our dog every time we come home. Or come back into the room after being gone for a whole minute!😂. Thank for sharing these techniques. 😊
Glad it helped! 😊 And I know what you mean about that over excitement when you briefly leave a room and return 😂
Good to know they really work as I've got two jumpers at home.
My bestie just adopted a pit bull mix who was in the shelter for 2 years before getting adopted. He's 75 lbs so it's hard not to say "no or get down". My friend has several years of applied behavior analysis experience with children on the spectrum and she keeps telling me how similar the concepts are even with a dog. Her experience has helped her tremendously with her new pup. The jumping is still happening , though so I will send this to her for sure! Great video!
It's so true! I'm almost experiencing things in reverse as a new mom... realizing that so much of the tools and mindset I use in force free training transfer nicely to parenting too!
Thanks. My dog is dealing with lots of change as my husband is on home hospice with other people walking her & strangers cone & going. Her barking & jumping is difficult. Thank you for encouraging instructions.
I’m so sorry to hear that! Remember to take time for you too ❤️
This was SO helpful thank you thank you so much!
Comments like this are exactly why I keep making tutorials 😁 Thank you so much for the kind feedback!! ❤️
@@happyhoundsdogtraining I have a dog trainer who is very much like you in the way she helps train my year old pup. It’s so helpful to have new ideas who she approves of. She sent me your channel!
Very helpful! Thanks
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! Great job and easy to understand and implement for my family
You’re welcome! ☺️
Thank you❤
You’re so welcome! 😊
This is a very helpful video. Ty! I'm adopting a jumper, so this truly is going to be something I practice
Glad it was helpful! Happy training with your new dog 😊
This is a great video! Thanks for sharing. The problem I've encountered is when the dog is not food motivated.
Thank you! Food motivation DEFINITELY helps you get more quick training repetitions in, but it's still possible to train without treats 🙂 Typically dogs jump from overexcitement & wanting attention... if the jumping NEVER gets attention and the alternative behaviour (such as sitting) DOES, the dog will still learn! I eventually phase out treats for jump training anyhow since I know that most people the dog encounters won't have treats in hand 😂
Try training before meal times when they are most hungry
You are fantastic please keep training
Thank you so much!
I'm going to try this, wish me luck. Glad I come across this video.
Good luck, I hope it helps! 😀
great video. super helpful. thank you!
You're welcome! 🙂
Yes this was very helpful my self and my daughter and her husband just purchased two Malinois they are jumpers we have not brought them home yet next week . I’ve watched so many videos uh . But I really find yours not so complicated and overwhelming . I have trained my lab years ago, so I have a good start, and my daughter wants to take them for training. But I’ll be watching you , thanks so much

I’m so glad it was helpful! 😊
This was refreshing to watch, and empowering for me an owner to a puppy! Thanks for taking the time!
Once this new behavior has been reinforced, in theory, when my family of 5 come walking through the front door for a holiday event - should the puppy apply the same response to seeing all of them? I'm afraid the excitement will get the best of him for larger groups of guests or people he doesn't see every day like he does me.
You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊 I made a separate video for how I then generalize this skill to guests (including family members that aren’t home as often). I’ll link that here! How to Train Your Dog to STOP Jumping On Guests:
th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
I tried this on my dog. SO EFFECTIVE!!!
Yay! Love to hear it 🥰
So I should always have treats on me for when I greet my dog? At what point I don’t need the treats?
I love your videos! Thanks for all you do to help us ❤
Thanks, I'm so glad you find them helpful 🙂 I would suggest starting training by always having treats when you enter the home, yes! You'll be able to do quick reward repetitions this way, so the jumping gets solved faster. Once you've progressed to your dog sitting without cueing (step 3), I'd start phasing out the treat rewards. Start by only offering a treat every second time, and then less & less. This is one behaviour I like eventually phasing out all treat rewards for simply because I don't want dogs expecting them from every guest or person they meet! Eventually the attention & pets are the reward rather than food 🙂 Hope that makes sense!
It really does! Thanks
And do not pay attention to the internet trolls! Haters got to hate right? So please keep going and keep doing what you do, at least I really do appreciate what you do! ♥️♥️✨
It's really clear to see how the dog is making the changes. I like that you work in the real scenario so that we can see how excited the dog is and how he can learn an auto sit. Thank you for making this video. I'm sharing it with my Canines For Christ Therapy Dog Friends.
Thank you so much for sharing it! When I started my channel I felt it would be valuable to show genuine transformations with force free training rather than just demoing the process with already trained dogs 🙂 Gives a more realistic example of how viewers journey at home will look!
I’m going to work on this training. Thank you
You're so welcome!
Excellent video! I really appreciated your calm demeanor and careful explanations. Thanks!
Thanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😊
Love this!! Going to be working on. Thank you!
You’re welcome ☺️
excellent - i am also a trainer and i am going to share this link to students - like that you kept it simple and easy to understand
Awesome, thank you! 🙏
Amazing!!! I loved this sooooo much! Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

I have been showing your TH-cam. Thank you for the videos you have helped me so much to be able to control my dog
Amazing, so glad they've been helpful 👏
Very clear explanations! Super helpful!
Thank you!
Thank you! At what puppy age can you start this training and expect to see some results? We have a 4 month old Boston Terrier.
You can start right away, and young puppies often learn this quickly ☺️ Just a warning though they can go through a transition phase around 8-9 months where it’ll seem like they’ve forgotten all training 😂 It’s easier to do a skills refresh at that point than start from scratch though!
Impressive
Thanks!
Fantastic help. Many thanks. 🙏🏻
You're welcome!
Very helpful, I have no idea what I'm doing
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. That was great
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Do you have any tips about dogs that jump you fom behind? That's what my daughter's mixed black lab/boxer does. I can stop her from jumping on me from the front, but not behind me. I never know when she is going to do it. She is 50 pounds and I am afraid she is going to knock me over. She is the same height as me when she jumps- 5 feet. She is only 6 months old.
Thanks! As soon as I started reading your comment I was going to ask if it's a young puppy because it's such a puppy thing to do 😂 The issue is if it gets the dog attention it can become a learned behaviour they carry into older years. In this case I'd focus on a two-person tactic: Have the pup on leash with your daughter holding the leash so pup can't pursue you as you leave. As soon as the pup looks at you as you leave (but is still calm), have your daughter mark & reward that. It builds a reinforcement history of NOT pursuing the moving person. Once that's easy it's helpful to practice higher stimulation versions such as you even jogging or skipping away. Then unclip her and transition to rewarding her for coming with you if interested, but without jumping up.
Hi, Thank you for your response. Her dog is not jumping up from behind when I leave. It can be anytime during the visit. The first time, I was puttng some things on the kitchen countertop when I entered her house. . I was completely surprised that the dog jumped up at me from behind. The second time I was in the backyard and I turned my back when her puppy again jumped on me from behind. I was startled and glad I did not fall. I told my daughter that I am afraid her 50 pound puppy is going to make me fall one day.
@@joannporter8040 I didn't mean leave as in necessarily "leave the house or room". More so anytime your back is turned and the opportunity to jump on you from behind presents itself to the puppy = training opportunity to reinforce an alternative behaviour. It sounds like the puppy is also doing it as an excited greeting or way to grab your attention, so adding to my above comment: at times you're stationary and can hear the puppy approaching, I would turn to face it and follow the cueing/training suggested in the video. When your back is turned, your daughter could also approach with the dog on leash and SHE does the cueing in this video to request the dog to sit before you turn to greet/work through the rest of the steps. In this case I'd be using the leash as a safety tool/management setup so the puppy can't jump up and hurt you. Between you & your daughter you should be able to train an alternative behaviour & teach the puppy how to politely greet people/ask for attention.
Thank you it helped
So glad to hear that! 😁
Hello, how do you practice this if your dog never jumps on you at home, only when guests arrive? I recently became certified as a dog trainer but struggle with this at home as I don’t have ways to practice this when living in the country except for when actual guests arrive. Thanks Paula
Great question! I made a follow-up video about addressing jumping on guests or during higher stimulation situations that I think will help. I'll link it here: th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
excellent video
Thank you 😊
Video was great.
Thank you! 😊
I'll try it 😊
Happy training ☺️
I have a 5 1/2 month old puppy I adopted from a shelter. My focus is to get her to quit jumping. Sitting should come first, right? What type of treat do you suggest?
Yes, train sit first! I'll link my tutorial for that here: th-cam.com/video/hD_1QJdehak/w-d-xo.html
And I typically divide “dog treats” into three value categories:
1) Low value: kibble, fruit/vegetable dog treats, milk bones, etc
2) High value: freeze-dried beef liver, single ingredient or pure meat dog treats, soft & stinky dog treats, etc
3) Very high value: cheese cubes, boiled & shredded chicken, ground beef, roasted pork chop, etc
I suggest using level 2 treats most of the time you're training with the occasional level 3 as an extra surprise 🙂
Fantastic video :)
Thank you very much!
I personally try staying away from the 'sitting' command, i altered it to 'wait'. Reason being, some of the dogs i work with in the rescue are prone to hind leg/hip issues, continuously getting them to sit and stand can aggrevate the problem and accelerate it. Specially GS's or members of the Mastiff group. I do use 'sit', specially with high energy jumpers or visual prey drive breeds, but the majority of the ones i work with respond just as well with 'wait' as the others do with 'sit'. The obediance level remains relatively the same in relation to moving away temptation, in some circumstances the obediance level increases with 'wait' as they understand just because they are standing does not mean they can move off or engage in a distraction..... Louie is a great case and i enjoyed the way you explained your approach. I very rarely subscribe to 'training' channels, as a very large % of them are absolutely full of shite 💩however, yours i felt warranted a click and a like...
“Very large % of them are full of 💩”
made me laugh 😂😂😂 I’m glad you enjoyed mine! I think your reasoning makes full sense 😊
@@happyhoundsdogtraining I want to help those i feel, as a professional are doing a good job. You are......✌
Very good video and very informative. This should help quite a lot of people with their friends.
However with that said, when it comes to Pitties. It does take a bit more firm style. Not aggressive or harmful, just very different ingrained genetics that needs a slightly different approach.
That said, after the initial process with them of emotional bonding and becoming their style of submissive which is where they are more comfortable. The tactics in this video will also be very helpful with them.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, but I would disagree with trying to label different breeds as automatically needing different tactics. I've worked with many pitbulls (including one in a filmed upcoming dog-dog aggression series) with precisely this method and it worked like a charm!
@@happyhoundsdogtraining Yes I've worked with many myself, and this is exactly what I've found. Pitties are my specialty as I can't stand to see the irrational fear most seem to have towards them.
Yes!
😁
Our golden is tough. If a person is across the street she'll know the person is there. But if she gets the chance to visit then she pulls. She is told to sit and she'll comply. The issue comes when she is close to the people. She'll jump and try to mouth things on the ground out of excitement.
If you ever saw the Flintstones with Dino jumping on Fred, that's my greeting every time I enter the house. This is what I have to stop. If I can get this then she's perfect. She is well behaved all around except for the excitement when getting close to other people
I LOVE the Flintstones comparison because I can picture exactly what you mean 😂 This video should help with her jumping on you, and I have a separate video about how I then train the same skill with house guests (th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html). On walks in general I personally prefer not to ask the dog to pre-sit when people are approaching since it's often hard for them to hold that for long (they become like coiled little springs haha). I have a neutrality in motion tutorial coming out June 7th that I think will help you a LOT! It focuses on neutrality to dogs, but it's the same method I use to train dogs to simply walk past humans without a care on sidewalks 🙂
Can you send me your verydetailed HAPPY Training for my two dogs they are of the age of 1 year and 8 month old same age please ma'am if you could also send me a detailed list of the steps also thank you and God bless
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by sending you "very detailed happy training", but if you want to read a blog about the method I'll link that here: happyhoundsdogtraining.ca/3-easy-steps-to-stop-dog-jumping-on-you/
Im going to try this method with my new puppy as its the one thing that frightens the grandchildren if a dog constantly jumps and knocks them over.
100% fair! Jumping can definitely get dangerous. Once you work through these steps I'd also check out this video (jumping on guests) so you can enlist a few people to help proof the behaviour 🙂 th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
if you think Louie is extreme you should meet my Diva, Dori and Oreo!! going to try using your method!
Is it weird that I want to? 😂 I love a challenge haha! Good luck training 👏
You both need to meet my sisters 1 & 1/2 year old lab Ronan. Was there today cleaning up after the storms we had Memorial day and you would swear I got in a fight with a lion. My arms are bruised all over and have lacerations up and down from his nails ripping the skin. I've tried the ignoring and turning and walking away. Which only works till he gets in front of me. When he was a pup he went for obedience training and did learn basic commands which I'm sure have not been followed through with.
We have two Goldendoddles and its very hard to train them. One jumps when greeting and the female pees when she greets. She is not a jumper. The male is 1 and a half years and the female just turned 3.
Is there an easy way to teach them?
If both dogs are problematic greeters I'd suggest trying to train 1 at a time. Make sure that they can both follow the steps in this current video with you/your direct family, then enlist a few guests to help you with this: How to Train Your Dog to STOP Jumping On Guests th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html. For the dog that pees I'd also closely watch her body language to see if the peeing is an excitement or fear based response.
What is the best way to train friends ? Sometimes we’re in a situation where the dog is not inside or on leash and he jumps on certain friends who lean over him, laugh, pet him, shove him off, say down, off, etc. Is this going to transfer to those situations?
This video should really help! 😊 How to Train Your Dog to STOP Jumping On Guests
th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
I will try and reapeat. I made the mistake when he was little and excited. He’s still little but his claws scratch me. He also get excited when someone he knows comes in. Will definitely try this method to undo what I’ve created! Thanks
It's so common to make that mistake when they're puppies, but you can definitely reverse it with training 🙂 Once you work through this video I'd also suggest enlisting a few friends or family members to train him not to jump on guests. This video explains how: th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
Yes
😊
You stated that if they jump on you, turn your back to them and slightly walk away. I have 2 great Danes, and I'm 5'2". Mine jump when I come home. When I turn my back I get paws and dane heads to the back and head. Any suggestions?
I'd be very interested in seeing what her reply will be.
Top of my mind:
1) I always suggest working with each dog individually until a base level of skills are trained. Two large dogs could be highly overwhelming (especially with your size) and they do tend to get each other even more worked up. Louie & his brother Diesel needed to be trained separately not to jump, then were combined.
2) I'd encourage the use of a barrier such as the baby gate in this video. It allows you to practice multiple repetitions of entering the house, requesting the behaviour you want, then being able to walk away and repeat until the dog calms down (and blocks the dog from actually being able to jump on your back/head as you turn). After a few reps & the dog calming down, then enter fully.
3) Look at my reply to Joannporter below if having a second person available to help train is an option for you.
My dog is 24 weeks old. He is a crazy jumper. Will this training still work with him
Absolutely! Your pup has had even less time to "rehearse" that jumping behaviour so far 🙂
What are your recommendations for dogs that haven't had reward/treat training before and become highly aroused and over threshold during training sessions?
Just to clarify- are you asking specifically in the context of training dogs not to jump? Or just in general?
My puppy learned to jump in a shelter that keeps dogs/puppies in pens where staff and visitors lean over to pet them and so they stand on hind legs to reach people. I wish they would employ your techniques from the start.
Sooo frustrating. Getting attention from strangers can be such an exciting reward, so I can definitely see that developing undesirable jumping behaviours quickly!
Great video! Need this with my bernedoodle jumping up on my wife and i
Hope it helps! ☺️
How do you make this work with 3 large dogs that all jump?
I talk about it more in this jumping tutorial video (th-cam.com/video/4RpoI1bzxyo/w-d-xo.html) but I strongly encourage training dogs separately until there's a base level of skills, then combining dogs into one session. Both Louie & his brother Diesel were horrendous jumpers and I would've been pummelled trying to work them both at the same time PLUS dogs often learn at different rates so individual training gets faster results since your timing is more precise 😊
Thank you so much, adopted a stray dog but he wild. Almost dropped me when I was cooking
It’s great that you adopted him ❤️ Happy training!
I have adopted a 7 month springer spaniel who is goid in lots of ways but does jump up including on my 3 year old grandson so I sm desperate to try this. Nothing in the last 3 weeks since I got her has worked.
I hope it helps :)
Help! I can't find any force free dog trainers in MA or NH; they are all "balanced trainers" who list all over their websites about how "correction is often necessary" and how "positive only trainers" as they call it are "ineffective" which doesn't mesh well with my understanding of dog psychology
Are there any websites or forums I can check on where force free trainers can find people like me who would like to hire them?
Lots of locations or credential organizations have their own lists (example in Alberta we have the force free alliance with lots of trainers listed). However, if you have Facebook I’d encourage you to check out the group “Positive Force Free R+ Dog
Training Library”. Lots of helpful resources AND people often post asking for trainers in their areas 😊
What you need to understand about balanced trainers is that they all start with positive training. At least that's how it's supposed to be. They may, however, use leash pressure to communicate with the dog. But this is done in a non-aversive way. It's sort of like just giving a guiding hand. After that, if the dog has issues as well as a temperament where treats or toys don't work, then that's when other techniques are used. Their training techniques are TAILORED to the INDIVIDUAL dog. Balance trainers do not limit themselves to just one training style.
Those who call themselves balance trainers and actually do abuse the dogs are not trainers at all. You just need to weed them out, which is no small task.
Good luck with finding a suitable trainer for your dog 😊
I'd also like to add that a "balanced" trainer who says positive training is ineffective as a general statement is someone to run away from. Real balanced trainers will acknowledge that for some dogs, maybe even for most dogs, positive only training is effective. What they may say is that positive only may take a lot longer with the more stubborn dogs. And that could put a strain on the client's resources.
ANY trainer who tries to bring himself up by putting down other trainers someone to be avoided.
Should you have guests give the treat or have to dog come back to you for the treat?
This video explains how I suggest incorporating guests into the training 😊 th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
Which breed is this? Mine is exactly like this
They're rescues that came in very young with no info on parents, so his guardian isn't completely sure what breed mix! Louie & his brother Diesel also look quite different from each other.
Do you always have to give the dog a treat to keep him from jumping
I'd encourage you to change how you're thinking about it... the treat shouldn't be a bribe to GET the dog to stop jumping, but instead it's a reward for offering the desirable behaviour that you want instead (such as sitting). But to answer your question: nope! Once any behaviour is proofed I phase out the majority of treat rewards. Dogs often jump because they're excited and want attention, so eventually those can become the reward 😊
My dogs dont jump on me…but they jump on my kids when they come in the house and if someone approaches them on the street, they will jump. What is your advice for stopping the jumping out in public when it’s random.
Wait if u go through the door and my puppy starts jumping, do i ignore or say sit?
My 6 month old border collie/lab cross will jump up at visitors and strangers in the street. I ask her to sit, which she does, but the moment I release her from the sit, she jumps again. Any tips please?
I made a follow-up video about how I generalize this skill to jumping on guests/other people 😊 I'll link it here: th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
My dog jumps on me all the time and actually hurts me with his claws scratching the skin off my arms or actually jumping on me when I am in bed, often landing on my stomach. He is a 6 mo goldendoodle. He knows sit command but how can I stop this jumping when I am off guard.
That sounds painful! Few thoughts to help until you train him more desirable default behaviours:
- Make sure his nails are well trimmed to help immediately decrease discomfort
- If his nails already are short and it still scratches that much, temporarily using dog booties on the front paws until he's better trained can help
- Use a leash (if two people are available) or a baby gate to minimize how much he CAN jump on you during training
- Don't let him into zones (like the bedroom) where he can jump on you unexpectedly unless you're actively doing training at that time.
Once more desirable behaviours are taught you can phase out anything you've used as management!
So my puppy sits for me and doesn't jump but guest? Tries to sprint and jump and it takes a lot to get her to sit
Quite a common problem because new people can be so exciting for puppies! I suggest watching this video: Dog Jumps on People? Try THIS to Stop Dog From Jumping On Guests
th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
It explains how to enlist a few trusted people to help your dog generalize the sitting rather than jumping ☺️
How do you get them to not bark? My dog will sit in his place but he will keep barking
Do you mean when guests come in? If it seems to be an attention grabbing behaviour I'd search "force free demand barking". I don't have a tutorial for that yet but I should add it to my list 😊
Everytime a dog jumps on me I fold both arms imfront of me become a statue and stare straight ahead. Everytime the dog immediately sits. Dog owners are always fascinated when their dog responds to that technique. once the dog sits then i will reward with a calm pet. Starts jumping repeat
Glad you found something that works for you! 😊
We do the same. Turn our back to him or just stand still. Don’t speak at all, no yelling and no praise. They very quickly find they don’t get the attention. Our dog is to big to allow jumping as someone would get knocked down. Once he realizes that he will,get attention when he calms down then we pet and praise him. This took us about a week and he stopped without being mean to him. He runs to meet us when we come in and wiggles all happy and we love on him but he does not jump on us.
I have tried this but when I turn my back my puppy grabs my clothes which is so frustrating 😒
Getting a reaction from you by your grabbing clothes can quickly turn into a reward for your pup! I'd use 2-person training with a leash (so one person can retreat where the pup can't follow) or use barriers like baby gates that you can step over. If puppy biting is a concern I have a video on that as well: th-cam.com/video/T5WLnCXybXg/w-d-xo.html
my dog doesn't jump on me it jumps on other people only - so that means someone else has to train my dog??
Other people are unfortunately always training our dog, even if we don't think of it that way. Example: if your dog jumps on someone and they pet it (because they're hoping that'll prevent it from jumping on them again), that's reinforcement and training, even if they're not meaning to do so. I'd suggest making sure your dog is solid on this method for jumping, then watch this video for how I incorporate guests into the training: th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
We have a Texas healer who goes bananas when strangers pull in, or knock on door. I like his natural instinct to protect, but how do I make him listen to commands while he's in this attack mode?
If he's already wildly over threshold (th-cam.com/video/G1UVxRIBMEs/w-d-xo.html) it's not an ideal time to try training in the moment. Instead I'd work on conditioning calmer responses to those situations in a more stepwise way. I've filmed two window reactivity videos (one to sights, one to sounds) that I'm hoping to release in the next few months. I think those will help you a lot, but it may be worth searching out other trainers videos on that topic in the mean time 😊
My dog isn’t jumping on greeting, he jumps and nips when I’m out walking and a stranger walks by.
I'd check out these two videos:
1) Train your dog not to jump on house guests: th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
2) Neutrality training: th-cam.com/video/-O1u3T3zS2M/w-d-xo.html. That video focuses on neutrality to dogs, but same principles could be used for keeping your dog focused on you rather than strangers.
Many years ago we started teaching our dogs to sit using a constant hand signal and it has been very helpful because they learn to focus on us and our hand instead of just using a verbal cue/command 😮 getting them to focus in a noisy chaotic environment like holidays or birthdays seems to be very helpful for us anyway 😮 and like with children we try to focus more on positive behavior and always reward that we try to ignore bad behavior which is difficult at times that is another reason we like to teach our puppers hand signals to especially to try to keep or get their attention. Dogs are like a perpetual 3 year old toddler any reaction even negative attention is better than no attention 😢
That last sentence is SO true!! People really underestimate how much attention is a reinforcer.
My dog doesn’t jump on me, the person who does the actual training. It’s guests and the other two people in the house, who I don’t trust to follow the training. Off to watch the guests video.
Try to enlist a few friends/family to help you generalize the not jumping! ❤
Much the best on jumping I have ever seen. Will try this thank you.
Every time hes loos. People come in. Always jumps. Cant give people that come to door treats
Why can't you give visitors treats? I suggest keeping a jar outside the door & watching this: th-cam.com/video/2YbPCep8AhE/w-d-xo.html
sad on sharing the lead photo comes up with a dog that's had its ears cropped
Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed the video enough to share, and I appreciate the feedback. Sometimes (especially when filming POV style) I completely forget about taking a photo for the thumbnail. I'm definitely a dog trainer, not a videographer 😂 I'm saving Louie's pic for the next unedited jump session video so you'll likely prefer that thumbnail!
This didn't make any sense. Youre asking him to sit when they jump but at the same time you said not even to say no when they jump, thats still giving them attention.
I'll respond as if you phrased this more politely as a comment asking for clarification. Asking the dog to sit isn't simply giving them attention... it's asking for a NEW action from them that's incompatible with jumping, and then the attention and reward is delivered when the dog offers this new desirable behaviour instead jumping up. Saying "no" doesn't give your dog any idea what action or behaviour you actually want from them INSTEAD of jumping. I like to keep training clear and consistent by using cues that let the dog know what I'm hoping from them in each scenario.
What is the best way to train friends ? Sometimes we’re in a situation where the dog is not inside or on leash and he jumps on certain friends who lean over him, laugh, pet him, shove him off, say down, off, etc. Is this going to transfer to those situations?
