When your dog next jumps up at you, turn your back and completely ignore them. Don’t say anything and try not to make eye contact. Be patient and wait until all four of their paws are back on the ground. As soon as this happens, turn around and reward your dog with positive attention. If your dog gets over-excited when you give them attention, consider using a food reward instead. If you choose food, then wait until all four of their paws are on the floor and then place a treat or scatter a few treats on the floor for them and encourage them to focus downwards. The trick is to teach your dog that jumping up isn’t an effective way to get your attention. You will need to turn away every time your dog jumps up.
If your dog is getting frustrated and is still jumping up despite being ignored, then you may need to change your approach. Continue to ignore the jumping up, but instead ask for a more constructive behaviour that your dog knows well, such as a “sit”. Before someone says hello to your dog, try and ask your dog to sit, and ask the person not to give them attention until they do it. When your dog sits, reward them with treats or attention.

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.

If your dog does jump up at you then don’t react at all. You should stay calm, quiet and wait for them to stop. You can then reward them when all four paws are back on the floor. Your dog needs to learn that they won’t gain anything by jumping up. Instead, it’s keeping all four paws on the floor that will get your attention. Make sure you reward your dog with praise when that's the case, especially at times when they’d be most likely to jump up. Don’t tell your dog off for jumping up, discouraging your pooch from jumping up by telling them off or saying “no, get down” could be rewarding for some dogs as they are getting attention.
