Many dog owners have encountered such a situation – back home, the door just opened, the home of the dog will be barking and jumping to your body pounce, jumping on the body. If you have a Yorkshire or Chihuahua small dog, then the dog’s warm welcome and embrace you believe that you can still accept, although sometimes his paws in your body to leave some red marks, and sometimes will make you hurt. If you have a large or medium-sized dog, such as a Golden Retriever, then you need to work out, because you may be pounced on at any time.
Dogs like to pounce on people’s habits make many owners rarely or even dare not take the dog out for a walk, because he will scare some of the passers-by who do not understand the dog, especially the elderly and children, although most of the dogs just want to express his happy and excited mood only, but this expression is sometimes still some of the dangers of some owners even consider giving the dog away.
Dogs jump on people for a reason
So why do some dogs like to jump on people? Rarely, there are three reasons: first, to show welcome and greetings to the owner. Pouncing on people is one of the more common actions of dogs, because I humans are taller than dogs, dogs will want to be close to you, so they will want to pounce on you; secondly, to implore the owner to play with him; thirdly, to attack strangers or people who the dog feels may pose a threat to him. The first two of these three reasons are the most common while the third is only seen in some mildly aggressive dogs, which is relatively rare, and this kind of dog is also not suitable for family rearing.
Puppies: first things first
How should I discipline a dog, especially a large dog, for such impolite behavior? I should use different methods for dogs of different ages, breeds and personalities. For puppies when he wants to pounce over, you should squat down, line of sight and the dog’s line of sight to adhere to the level, and then touch the dog’s head and chest, some puppies if still very excited can not be quiet down, which indicates that the dog is very eager to have someone to play with him, then I should meet this little request, spend a few minutes to touch him to tickle him so that the dog to enjoy playing enough it! But if the dog continues to pounce on people after playing, then I should take some measures to let the puppy know that it is not right to pounce on the owner of this action, the owner does not like this action.
When the puppy jumps up I can catch the dog’s two front limbs and gently lift the dog off the ground, at the same time both hands pinch its front limbs a little bit hard to make it feel a little pain and give the forbidden command (such as “NO or “No” or when the puppy jumps up you can use your fingers to flick the bridge of its nose and at the same time give the forbidden command; You can also use your knee to push your puppy’s chest when he jumps at you to make him feel uncomfortable and give him a no command. All of these measures are designed to make the puppy pounce on you to make it happen unpleasant feelings, so that it fully understand the pounce on people “this action is not right, the owner is not like this adhere to a period of time the dog will slowly form a conditioned reflex and will not do pounce on people’s actions.
