Put a Stop to Canines Jumping on Guests at the Door
No one wants to go to a friend and get mobbed by their own dog at the front door. And a dog owner ought to tolerate this kind of behavior.
It is easily correctable along with obedience training which establishes the master as the dominant factor pack leader within the relationship. The dog must learn that it is not really in control and doesn't take the lead role in greeting visitors. A stern “no” order is all that needs to be necessary and it can be done with out yelling. Raising your voice will generally heighten most circumstances involving canines. They respond negatively to heightened emotions so the knowledgeable dog owner will know to stay calm and level headed. To get your dog to reply to the simple “no” order, the dog should learn to respect the consequences of their actions. Jumping on guests at the door should get the dog a powerful rebuke or a minor jerk on its training collar. More powerful physical punishments - such as hitting, kicking, blocking your dog with a knee - will generally do small to help and will probably just wind the dog up even further and escalate the situation. Hitting a dog or otherwise correcting it with extreme pressure could hurt or frighten the dog into a fight setting that could create a bite or attack. At the minimum, this type of remedial measure will scar the animal emotionally and instill distrust and concern. None of those things bring about the proper instruction of a canine.
An even better way to head off this kind of behavior is to train the dog(s) to go sit inside a predetermined place when guests arrive at the door. This requires the dog totally out of the equation because they are no where near the door. That way the guests are already in to the comfort zone of the home before the canines are allowed a chance to approach. Any kind of sign of aggression or excitedness at this point should be countered with a strong “no” and order revisit the seated place. Your dog(s) will become familiar with that they must display good manners or even they will be corrected.
One of the most main reasons of canine training is consistency. Another is persistence. Corrective motion should always be quick and appropriate. Failing to discipline the dog may encourage it to push the boundaries the next time since it is unclear about the action.
Ignoring good training advice is a danger to dog owners and their visitors. Properly training a dog is difficult work and requires commitment. But there is no excuse for something less. The bond between a person and canine should always include a healthy dosage of regard and obedience from the animal. After all, you are in charge.
