You need to communicate to the pet that this isn't acceptable behavior and shouldn't be done but don't waste words or try to make up new phrases to correct it. Then when the dog has all four feet on the floor, immediately squat down and give her attention. She will soon learn that by sitting quietly with all four feet on the floor she will get what she wants. Too late What if the dog surprised you and got her feet on you before you had a chance to block her. Do NOT push her away with your hands.
Many dogs think that is play.
Some people lightly step on the toes of one of animal's rear feet, but not enough to hurt the dog. All you want to do is make something that s fun suddenly uncomfortable to them. Remember you are not going to step down on the toes and make the animal yip in pain. Done consistently, either of these actions will eliminate jumping behavior. Inc. All rights reserved.
