One of the most common reasons why dogs jump is to say hello. They’re saying hello. Dogs greet each other and us by saying ‘hi’ face-to-face. Dogs can only see us face-to-face if they jump up. Since one of the many ways dogs show us affection is by licking our faces, is it any wonder they want to jump up and say hello face-to-face too? They’re excited. Dale explains nearly all dogs who jump are excited. They’re seeking attention. One of the best ways to get someone’s attention is by jumping on them. They’re acting aggressive. In some cases, dogs aggressively jump on people. Dogs will never jump on you or anyone else to show dominance.

Most dogs jump up to get our attention. Your dog is likely to jump up at you when they’re excited to see you. But it could also be an attempt to communicate that they’re worried about something. The action of jumping up can become a channel for excited or nervous energy that dogs repeat again and again. This is because dogs generally do whatever works out well for them. So, if you reward your dog with attention whenever they jump up they’ll just keep doing it. Often, we encourage jumping up in puppies when they’re small and cute.

Your dog is jumping on you and others to get attention. Your dog likes interacting with people, this jumping behavior gets them the human attention they crave. This is not a bad motivation, but it is an annoying dog behavior. Your dog is not jumping on people because they think jumping is fun. If your dog thought jumping was a fun behavior they would be jumping up on all kinds of things around the house, but they don’t. Because the joy of jumping is not why they are jumping on humans. This dog behavior is technically known as a demand or attention-getting behavior.
