To stop a dog from jumping, it is necessary to correct unwanted behavior, and one way to say no is a collar correction, a bonker, a Pet Corrector, etc. For a demonstration of one way to say no, there is a video that demonstrates how to correct your dog for jumping using the prong collar. Recognize that jumping behavior does not occur in a vacuum, it is related to all the other behaviors and events within the entire pattern. To truly resolve the jumping problem, it is necessary to change the pattern that surrounds it, including the dog’s state of mind. For a dog who jumps on guests at the door, using the place command can help build a new pattern. Teach the place command, and then begin desensitizing your dog to the triggers involved in the greeting event, such as the doorbell, by having your dog on place, ringing the doorbell, and correcting your dog if he jumps up. If your dog holds the place command, mark that behavior with “good” or “yes” and reward with food.
