How to stop a dog from jumping up

Dog jumping up at woman on the beach.

If you’re a pup parent, then you might be wondering how to stop a dog from jumping up. Whilst this behavior might seem cute in the early days, it can turn into a real problem as they get older and bigger — especially if you have small children around the house.

Even though your dog means well, this behavior can feel quite frustrating. Thankfully, there are lots of things that you can do to help, like redirecting them to one of the best puppy toys or rewarding them for staying down. You should train them out of this bad habit as soon as possible using positive reinforcement for dogs.
