Training your dog not to jump on guests Training your dog not to jump on guests Jumping dogs are a traditional greeting at doors across America. Guests hate it.
Owners hate it.
And dogs are having a field day because they get more attention than ever. Think about it. Dogs jumping to greet people at the door is natural. They see us talking at eye level, and they want to be at eye level, too. So they jump to try to get up to eye level and greet the person at the door.
