To stop a dog from jumping on strangers at a park, you can use a longline, which is a 10m long lead, to keep your dog under control. Clip the longline onto your dog’s harness, and if you see people in the distance, pick up the line and recall your dog back to you. This way your dog is under control and more likely to be able to focus on what you are asking them for. If your dog is getting frustrated and is still jumping up despite being ignored, then you may need to change your approach. 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. You can also use treats to encourage your dog to keep all four feet on the floor and divert their attention down instead of leaping up at people. As well as being consistent yourself, you need to ensure that every person who interacts with your dog follows the same rule and ignores your dog’s jumping up behaviour.

Don't respond if your dog does jump up. 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. Teach your dog to sit when meeting people. Ask a friend or relative to walk towards you and your dog. When you get close to them, stop a short distance away and ask your dog to sit. Have some extra tasty treats ready to reward them with. If your dog suddenly becomes excited and jumps up, make sure you don’t engage and simply stay calm, quietly waiting to reward the moment they stop bouncing.
