The puppyish spontaneity and sociability touches all. As it is pleasant when the dog joyfully jumps around, welcoming members of household! However the kid quickly grows and puppyish habits in an adult dog begin to irritate both owners, and people around. Dirty paws, the torn things, the frightened children – all this can turn into a big problem. What should I do? In time and systematically to disaccustom a puppy to a habit to jump on people around and around them.
Instruction
1. The puppy jumps from surplus of joy and desire to touch the person. Often the owner himself encourages this addiction, specially bending to the kid and being happy when that licks his face. The dog accepts this joy for approval, thus the habit is fixed.
2. To save a dog from an addiction, and yourself – from the spoiled clothes, strictly disaccustom a puppy to such manner of a greeting. It is the best of all to teach him to the sit team as soon as possible. As soon as the puppy rushes to you, strictly tell him "to Sit"! As soon as the dog obeys, encourage him with delicacy.
3. If the puppy jumps, welcoming the owner who came into scrap, try not to provoke it. Do not call and do not iron a dog, having come into the apartment. Ignore him, give to a puppy time will calm down. After that you can call up a dog and communicate to her. Your pet has to understand that rough greetings are not encouraged, but the owner at all not against with him to play.
4. You do not shout at a puppy and do not beat him. To bring up the intimidated dog does not enter your purposes. Is not necessary and is verbose to tell off a dog, repeating his nickname. Do not overestimate intelligence of your pet – he just will not understand long monologues. But "will read" short distinct teams, intonation and a look very quickly.
5. Some dogs can be helped by delicate physical impact. When the puppy jumps on you, strong take him for forepaws and put them on a floor. By a strict voice tell a dog: "Faugh". If the dog obeyed, treat him with delicacy. If he continues to jump around, repeat reception.
6. However there are animals which touch and even rigid influence does not pacify, and on the contrary, provokes. They begin to jump even more violently, supporting the actions with bark. Such puppies need to be brought up more strictly. Do not allow them to lick the person, you praise and talk to a dog only when they behave quietly. Ignore jumps and bark. The puppy quickly will understand that jumping and noise to him not to achieve either encouragement, or entertainment and will be forced to behave more reserved.
7. If your puppy jumps on strangers, do not try to translate a situation for fun. Remember that passersby can be afraid of dogs, even the smallest. Therefore at an initial grade level when you are not sure yet that the pet mastered commands, lower it from a lead only in solitudes or on the special dog platform.
8. If your puppy does not obey teams, address the professional dog handler. To you will suggest to complete a course of the general training together with the pet. It will take some time and will demand efforts, but as a result you receive obedient and ideally well-mannered dog.
