5 Helpful Steps to Stop Your Dog From Jumping on Furniture

Step 1

Take your pup off the furniture and say "Off!" Teach your puppy early on that you do not favor her sitting on the furniture.

Step 2

Be consistent. It's important that you don't allow your dog to jump up on furniture one day and then punish her the next time she jumps on the couch.

Step 3

Try not to leave food on the counter tops and tables. These are temptations that a dog in training cannot resist.

Step 4

Limit your pup's roaming area to places that don't have furniture with nesting qualities if your dog jumps on furniture while you're gone.

Step 5

Consult a pet behaviorist if the behavior persists.

7 Helpful Steps to Stop Your Pet From Jumping on People

Step 1

Be consistent with puppies and dogs; it's counterproductive to discourage your dog from jumping on others, while allowing her to jump on you and lick your face.

Step 2

Turn all the way around when you first walk in the door and your dog leaps up on you.

Step 3 3

Wait until your dog stops jumping, and say "Good!" the moment she does.

Step 4 4

Command your pup to sit if she knows the command, and don't touch her until she does. Again, be consistent.

Step 5

Tell your dog to find her toy if she doesn't know "sit." This redirects your pup's energy from jumping on you to finding her toy.

Step 5

Practice "no jump" with friends once your dog learns not to pounce on you. Have friends give treats and praise when your dog succeeds.

Step 6

Anticipate potential jumping situations, and tell your dog to sit or redirect her attention to something else.

Step 7

Praise your dog when she doesn't jump, especially during situations that might give her reasonable cause.
