Jumping on people
Our dog likes to jump up on you when you get home. I don’t let the dog jump up at all, but my husband will invite the dog to jump up by slapping his chest. But if the dog jumps up “uninvitied” he scolds him. I say this gives mixed signals to the dog and he doesn’t know the difference, and my husband says the dog does know when its ok to jump or not. Who is right.
Well…either you’re going to have to train hubby…or skip trying to train the dog… Husbands are notoriously harder to train than the family dog. :)
This isn’t a fair set up for a dog…and you’re absolutely right…it’s sending mixed messages. However, it can be incorporated into “training”…but regular obedience training will have to accompany the “jump up” cue. It can NEVER be done on the dog’s terms…only on YOUR (Hubby’s) terms. Go thru his obedience…Sit…down…stay…walk away (keeping him in his stay)…come back, pick up leash…and at the end…”ask” him to jump up (as tho this is a part of his obedience training)…This is the only place it can happen for a while, until the dog understands that it’s “Dad’s” terms, and only under the command to “jump up”…is it EVER allowed.
Does your husband want to work with the dog this hard?? Or do you think he’ll opt to maybe just keep “all four on the floor”…for companies sake (and old ladies on the street)…
p
YOU ARE RIGHT!!! If the dog “knew” the difference your husband wouldn’t ever have to scold him.
TEACH THE DOG NOT TO JUMP LIKE YOU.DOGS are SMART BUT STICK WITH THE EASY AND BEST WAY .NO JUMPING.JUST TEACH THE DOIG NICELY
Call Victoria Stillwell she will set your husband straight and also your dog. she is a famous dog trainer. she right now is in the usa but she may go back to the uk
you are right, you both have to be on the same page and not scold the dog for jumping if he thinks it is ok. My dogs use to do this. so when I come home I walk right passed them and do what I need to do. when the are calm I go over and great them. The only way it is going to work is if you both do the same thing.
I say you are because the dog doesnt undestand I tried it with my dog when you tell the dog to and reward them they think its good and try to please you so they do it all the time expecting a reward and then they are pushed away and scolded its confusing…
A great way to train a dog to not do something that it’s finding fun, is to turn you’re back and break eye contact as soon as the do the behavior, dogs can associate any form of eye contact, even if it’s accompanied with harsh words and a shaking finger as praise, taking away eye contact straight away is a strong message to a dog that you don’t like what they’re doing.
Phrannie is hard on the male species of humans, but right. The dog gets mixed signals. Either he jumps on everyone he sees or is trained not to. Though the husband may not have more intelligence than the dog is questionable.
There is a lot of work involved in training the dog in the difference of jumping when he wants to and when you want him to. It’s probably easier to train the husband.
he is probably confused, but he can learn the difference if you teach him… positive reinforcement might work better though… give him a treat or something when he does it on command (it has to be consistent though… only allow it when it’s done on command) and dogs are smarter than you think, mine knows only to climb on the sofa when my dad isnt anywhere in sight…
