I got back from North Carolina earlier this week and am still playing catch up.

I had a great time down south, ate some great bar-b-que and did my best to stay cool.

Anyway, just yesterday I was visiting a friend when his dog jumped all over me. I didn’t mind too much, but my friend was very upset.

He told me that he has tried everything to stop the jumping but nothing seems to work.

I told him not to worry, because I didn’t get the name The Amazing Dog Training Man by accident, and that I would give him three easy tips that he could follow and I’m going to share them with you.

Tip #1: Exercise – Dogs that jump are usually active and need to burn off the pent up energy that they build up.

"The only good dog is a tired dog."

I’ve never had a sleeping dog jump on me.

Tip #2: Re-Direct The Behavior – Dogs are extremely social animals and give it all they’ve got when they greet. We need to teach our dogs how to greet and this can be done by re-directing the behavior.

Tip #3: See Tip #1 and #2 – Just kidding.

Tip #3 is to reward your dog when all four paws are on the ground. When your dog jumps, simply ignore your dog until he stops. Once he stops jumping, give your dog a treat or praise.

This requires patience but it is very effective.

Each dog is different and not every technique will work on every dog. That’s the reason I have different methods for different dogs in the Good K9 Manners course.

There are videos showing you exactly what to do and depending on your dog, you have different techniques to choose from like:

• The Cha Cha Technique
• The Paw Shake Method
• and The TTL Technique

All the best,
