She only does it out of happiness so it isn't a dominance issue. "No!" doesn't phase her, so I've tried pushing her away but she sees this as a playful fight and jumps back up more excited.
Help! I'm thinking of using a prong collar if necessary.|||My American Bulldog was a big time jumper. It was hard to break her of it because we allowed it for so long. All we did to stop the behavior was make her sit in front of us before we'd pet her (seriously...simple as that). It did take time and patience though.|||My dog does the same thing, she's rather large too.
What I do is I look straight ahead and keep my arms straight down.
When she jumps up, I raise my knee in between me and her, pushing her back by the chest.
When she sits down, I take a step back, tell her to sit, and then greet her.|||i use hand signals on harley he's a jumper...i put my hand up high enough over my head and say down loudly...after a few days he learned the hand goes up he sits
also i've used if the dog jumps turn around away form it and keep turning away until the dog loses interest then give her a treat and praise her...she will soon learn keeping calm means food|||my dog does the same thing u should pull her down from the person then tell her no a few times then give her a tap on the butt|||I used to train my dogs not to jump up on people by stepping on their hind feet when they do so. Don't stomp on them to hurt them or break a bone but a light step will bother them enough that they will start to get the message and quit.|||Do not use any kind of collar that inflics pain or shock - that is cruel!
When my lab jumps up I say "no" and turn my back. Once he has calmed down I pat him. I also tell him to sit before getting any pats too because he is quite excitable. I wouldn't tell every dog to sit before getting pats, but I've noticed this works well at calming him down. If he jumps now, all I have to do is turn my back and he will quickly realise he is doing the wrong thing and he will sit and wait patiently for me to turn around again. Positive reinforcement works - not abuse.|||One of the best ways to teach this is to train them to sit rather than to jump. Of course if your dog is the one in your avatar (Saluki? Afghan?) it will be a long process because sighthounds are usually very sensitive dogs. My general rule for all dogs is that they only get affection when all four paws are on the ground. The main thing you have to work on is reducing the excitement levels to a point where you can work with her. You may need the help of a professional trainer.|||When my dog used to do that I would stop what I was doing and address the issue. I noticed that most of the time he would do that when I was coming in with my hands full or someone was at the door so I would try to shush him but with something else in my mind. Now when someone is at the door and he's jumping at the door (for sure he will jump at the person when I open the door)....I take time to put his leash on, I sat him next to the door and tell him to stay. I let the person in and remind my dog to 'stay'...if necessary I will give a little pull on his leash. Once my guest is in I invite them to sit and let my dog free. When I do that I create a bubble around my dog and I. I do not think about people waiting, I give my dog my full attention, I want him to feel I am serious about what I am demanding.
Don't use a prong collar, I am certain you are uneasy about doing this. The water bottle is more efficient.
