Canines have a natural tendency to jump up on people. When dogs jump, they get to say hello to each other face to face, and it’s almost some to attract attention. Jumping to greet is inconvenient and risky from a human perspective. Muddy paws can smear dressy garments, and people, particularly seniors and children, can be knocked over. Using an electric dog collar to train your dog to greet people properly is more courteous and significantly safer.
Why Do Dogs Jump to Greet People?
Dogs get rewarded for repeating certain behaviors. And your pet will appreciate your care more than anything else. Other family members, visitors, and strangers can all reinforce the behavior in the same way. Even negative responses such as yelling at your dog or grabbing their paws are attention and can promote the behavior, and for many dogs, pushing them away is simply part of a wrestling game.
You must remove the related rewards to eliminate jumping from your dog’s greeting repertoire. That means keeping an eye on your dog to make sure they don’t get a chance to practice jumping as you teach them a better approach to welcome people.
If you need to rectify your dog’s negative jumps, use the electric dog collar and follow the procedures below.
Make the E-collar familiar to the dog.
Many new owners make the mistake of immediately putting the E-collar on their dog after purchasing it and testing the stimulation features to determine the best setting. As a result, the dog will grow to dislike the E-collar. Allow your dog to sniff the gadget and become accustomed to the E-collar. The collar should get placed on your dog only after that. Make sure the stimulation is to the lowest setting possible. You can then alter the stimulus based on the dog’s behavior, ensuring that it does not injure the dog while also assisting you in achieving your objectives.
Get the dog to stop jumping on you.
You can begin training after everything is ready. When your dog begins to jump on you, push the remote’s stimulation button to transmit the stimulation to your dog. Starting with the vibration or tone stimulation is a good idea. It’s not a good idea to keep the button pressed. Press and hold the button for two seconds at a time.
If the dog does not respond to the above, increase the stimulation intensity and repeat the procedure. The dog will soon learn that stimulus occurs only when the dog leaps on you and will stop jumping on you.
Prevent the dog from jumping on other people.
If your dog becomes excited when they meet new people, you should start correcting the habit in the manner indicated above. It’s the same procedure as before. Enlist the help of a buddy. You hit the button to send the stimulation when the dog leaps on your friend. If your dog does not respond, gradually raise the stimulation level until he understands that this is bad behavior and that he should cease.
