![]() ![]() With the penny bottle in your hand simply open the front door and wait. As the doorbell rings most likely your dog will get excited and run to the door eagerly awaiting the houseguest they’re about to jump on. The more people you can do this with the better as your dog will quickly start to grasp the concept that it’s not acceptable behavior with anyone. If you’re having a dinner party it’s even better. So call up a couple friends to help you out for a few minutes, it won’t take long. Again it’s easy to train them not to jump on you but breaking them of jumping on others is where the challenge lies. The only realistic way to train this is by using other people. Timing is everything which is exactly what we’re going to go over today. But proper use of the penny bottle is key. That’s right, behold the infamous penny bottle! A cheap but effective tool that’s been proven to solve countless dog problems. ![]() See that water bottle your drinking out of? Go ahead and finish it, put 20 pennies in there and put the cap back on. ![]() It’s so cheap you can’t even find it in stores. The only tool we’re actually gonna be using to perform this technique is one of my favorite and cheapest tools there is. Let’s break this down…įirst thing’s first, let’s get geared up. Of course there are many ways to break this habit but today we’re just gonna go over one that I find gets is very effective. (don’t lie) So putting a stop to an old habit is often tricky but I have a simple plan that I’ve executed on many dogs over the years and it seems to work on most. After all, this bad habit most likely formed when they were a puppy when everyone really did think it was cute when they jumped up…yourself included. It never helps when people think it’s so cute when your dog is jumping on them and the person is smiling and petting your dog. Training them not to jump on you is simple but to teach them to not jump on others is often a challenge because your dog learns to take you seriously but tends to look at everyone else as a pushover. Now there’s a big difference between training your dog not to jump on you and training them not to jump on others. Thankfully she’s ok but that’s when the family called me I started working on the dog to eliminate this problem for good. I actually worked with a family recently who’s dog actually knocked over a little girl and gave her a couple stitches in her head. A dog with a bad jumping habit can not only be embarrassing but also a safety hazard as a large dog can accidentally injure an elderly person over. Jumping dogs can often be a total embarrassment especially when they’re a larger breed that literally knocks over your house guests when they walk in. ![]()
