Teach your dog to not jump up

If your dog, owned or borrowed, jumps up when they greet you, here’s a quick training trick from our friends at Cuffe Vets:

• Some dogs are so excited to meet people that they will jump up to say hello.
• When this happens, turn away and wait until they’re a calmer before returning their greeting.
• Rewarding the jumping up behaviour with an equally excited greeting can encourage it and many owners try hard to train their dogs out of this habit.

Would you like your dog to enjoy extra walks, love and exercise? BorrowMyDoggy connects dog owners with local borrowers for walks, sitting and holiday care.
