Sure-Fire Dog Training Tip #1
Okay, listen up. This is the sure-fire dog training tip. And I'm giving it away for free. For free!
A dog can't jump while it's sitting.
That's it. It should be, like, a law or something.
People ask me all the time, "How can I keep my dog from jumping on people?"
And this is the one sure-fire answer:
A dog can't jump while it's sitting.
More people than you'd think don't like this answer. They want to knee their dog in the chest or tell it "No!" very loudly or grab its paws until it gets uncomfortable. Or anything that will be quick and fast and almost like magic. And for some dogs, some of the time, those things do work. But the sure-fire, works-everytime, one-thing is to teach your dog to sit when you tell it to.
Because a dog can't jump while it's sitting.
