The way dog trainers to it is to have a choke chain collar on with lead attached, and the dog gets jerked down and reprimanded every time. If you trained it to do the rest of that stuff, you can train it not to jump up.

When puppy jumps, place shin or knee (depends how big pup is) on puppy’s chest and push back firmly but NOT hard. Don’t hurt the pup, but you want a reaction. At the exact same time you push with your leg, sharply say No and then immediately say (in a softer voice) the pups name and Sit. Praise lavishly the second your pup sits.
Melissa K: Read what you wrote. The knee-correction (you do NOT knee your pup in the chest as YOU wrote) is a decades-old proven method to teach a canine not to jump. Your vent is severely misplaced. Highly unlikely you are a dog trainer as I and millions of others have successfully used this method of training for over 30 years without any issues or any harm to our beloved dogs.
And Anna dear, the knee correction technique of placing your shin or knee on the canine’s chest has NOTHING to do with KICKING. No one should ever kick a dog. Where do you people get this nonsense from?

Stick your knee out (don’t kick him!) when he goes to jump on you and tell him no, don’t let him jump on you, he will get the message.

What I did was I would purposefully get my puppy excited and when he jumped, I kneed him down. I did it over and over, and he got the picture that it’s OK to be excited but not OK to jump. When he gets it with you, he may still try it with other folks, so you could enlist the help of a volunteer to follow your instruction and do the same thing.
When the puppy gets it and doesn’t jump on you even though he’s excited, make a big deal out of it and make him think he’s a super pup. He will get the positive/negative connection with the behavior.
Be consistent and your puppy will get it.
I got this information personally form a border collie breeder/trainer, so it’s a tried and true method.
Good luck!

UUURRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!
This question is asked so many times, and I am SO SICK of people recommending leash corrections, kneeing the dog in the chest, and hitting. Besides being unneccesary and ineffective, have any of you ever tried to knee a 3 month old pup in the chest? Unless you are about three feet tall, ain’t gonna happen!
Now that I have vented…this is soooooo simple. No one pets the dog unless he is sitting (or at least standing) first. If he jumps, turn around and walk away. If he sits and then you reach to pet him and he starts to jump again, turn and walk away. He wants attention…he will learn very quickly what he needs to do to get attention from people. The hardest part is not going to be training your pup, it’s going to be getting other people to comply. Make them! If necessary, ask them to have the pup sit so they can give him a treat and then pet him. They will be more amenable if they believe they are helping you train him to sit.

OK I won’t say buy it, go to this site, they have great positive reinforcement, not the cruel choker chain others have suggested.
Before you do anything to your pet, ask yourself would I want some one to do that to me? If not don’t do it to your pet remember they are people too.

Go with positive reinforcement - it works better than, say, a choke collar or spike collar, which is horribly inhumane. He jumps up because he is excited to see you and wants to steal all your attention - that’s not something that deserves to be punished for. We had this problem with our pitbull puppy, and while it doesn’t scare us, it had scared guests in the past, so we needed to train her not to. We put treats in our pockets and when we walked in the door, we bent down (she wont jump if you’re down on her level) and wouldn’t pet her until she sat. She won’t get it at first and may seem a little confused, but if you do it every day for a few weeks, she’ll immediately sit when you get home, and eventually stop giving her treats and just give her lots of praise, and she’ll do it just for that. It takes work, but you’ll end up with a much happier, well-behaved dog. Good luck.
Oh, one more thing… Kneeing (another word for kicking) your dog in the chest for jumping is a bad (and dangerous) act. While it doesn’t happen 100% of the time, some dogs (especially in puppies) experience a collapsed trachea or other neck and throat damage by this type of training. (choke and/or spike collars have the potential to damage the throat as well). Just think, if you came home to your child and he/she was climbing up on you, happy to see you, you wouldn’t want to knee or kick your baby in the neck… And your pets should be treated like you’re children… Just because some people say they’ve done these things with no bad repercussions, doesn’t mean it will go flawlessly for you as well… (Okay, okay, I’m GOING now!!) :o)

You can put the puppy on a leash and yank it and say no when the puppy starts to jump. Another idea that also worked for me is to have people bend their leg at the knee raise it up off the floor so when the puppy jumps it doesn’t get to you and it seems to stop trying. Repetition and consistency is the key. Good luck.

First thing to do is to watch the show The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Milan. This show saved my dog’s life and allowed us to add others to our pack. Cesar will walk you through how to not train your dog, but train yourself in how to communicate what you want to.
As for jumping up…when a dog jumps on someone it is because they see themselves as the leader of the house (or pack). The ONLY way to get a dog to do anything you want it to (without abuse of course) is take the leadership role on yourself. There are so many ways to do this (a simple one is to be sure you never speak in high pitched tones or let your dog walk in a room or out a door ahead of you…) that you should really invest the time to watch the show or buy his book (I prefer the show…it is on The National Geographic Channel.)
Good luck and enjoy your anilmal!!!

Do not pet puppy when she is jumping up,, put her back down on all 4 feet and praise…. if she continues,,,, grab hold of her front paws and HOLD THEM one to each side of your body… say nothing,.,.,, keep holding… she is going to try to mouth your hand etc. KEEP HOLDING keep her there until she really wants to get down cuz it is no longer pleasurable to jump up… then place her two front feet on the ground and say good feet and praise her… she is probably gonna get wild and jump right back up ,,,, REPEAT this does not take long for the dog to understand FEET command,,,,, it also doesn’t not hurt the dog in anyway,,, if she yelps while you are holding her paws it is because she is frightened by the paw trap — she will learn very quickly that it really isn’t rewarding to jump up,,, you must always remember to praise her when all 4 feet are on the ground……… good luck
