When your puppy jumps up on
you, she wants attention. Even if you
push her away, she is still
getting attention (even if it is a response that
you might consider
negative).
When Your Puppy Jumps Up:
Fold your arms in front of
you, turn away from her, and say “off.”
Continue to turn away from
her until all four paws are on the ground,
then quietly praise her and
give her a treat. If she knows the “sit”
command, give the command
when all four paws are on the ground,
then quietly praise her and
give her a treat while she’s in the sitting
position.
If she begins to jump while
you’re praising her, simply turn away and
repeat the second step,
above. Remember to keep your praise
low-key. When your puppy
realizes that she gets no attention from you
while she’s jumping up, but
does get attention when she sits, she’ll stop
jumping up. Remember, once
you’ve taught her to come and sit quietly
for attention, you must
reward her behavior. Be careful not to ignore her
when she comes and sits
politely, waiting for your attention.
