Jumping on Guests? Stop It Before Your Next Macon Family Gathering!
Dog owners, there’s nothing more embarrassing than your dog jumping all over Aunt Sue the second she walks in for a family gathering—especially with events like the Cherry Blossom Festival bringing everyone together. At Off Leash K9 Training, Georgia, we’ve helped countless dogs in Macon and beyond ditch this habit for good. Let’s talk about why your dog jumps on guests and how our training can make your next get-together a jump-free zone.
Why Dogs Jump on Guests
Jumping is your dog’s way of saying, “Hey, I’m excited!” or seeking attention. In Macon, where family gatherings are a big deal, new faces can send your dog into a frenzy. While it might seem cute with a small pup, it’s a problem when a bigger dog like a Golden Retriever knocks over a kid or scratches someone. Without training, this behavior only gets worse over time.
The Off Leash K9 Solution
We tackle jumping with precision at Off Leash K9 Training, Georgia. Using our military-inspired approach, we teach commands like “off” and “sit” to stop the behavior in its tracks. Our e-collar training helps redirect your dog’s excitement into calm greetings—think of the e-collar as a gentle nudge to focus on you instead of the guest. We also practice with real-life scenarios, so your dog learns to stay grounded even when the doorbell rings. I’ve seen dogs go from jumping on everyone to sitting politely at family gatherings in just a few sessions.
Quick Tip to Start Today
When your dog jumps, turn away and ignore them—no eye contact, no talking. The second they stop, reward them with a treat and a calm “good.” It’s a start, but our professional training makes it stick.
