Do not punish or hit your dog  for jumping up on people, because there are other ways to correcting it, and this will only encourage your dog to do it again because he is getting attention. You should remember that any attention is good attention to your dog. You should always reward your dog for good behavior.

When it comes to correcting this jumping problem, you should use a one word command like “down” which is simple for you to remember for when he does it again. Also you should say this command in a strong, dominant voice to show him who’s the pack leader.

Here is an easy 3 step system you can turn to whenever you need to stop your dog from jumping up at you or other people.

Step 1 – whenever your dog is jumping up on people, you should use a command like “down” in a strong dominate voice.
