Stop Jumping on me!

I am currently reading "Culture Clash" by Jean Donaldson. It's all about using operant conditioning. That is, you get the behavior you reinforce. I strongly recommend this book. I've had dogs my entire life (I am 46), and I am still continuing to learn better ways to handle and understand them.

Yep, it's all about rewarding the behavior you want which will  increase the likelihood that the dog repeats the behavior.  I like to teach a default behavior such as sit.  If the dog even looks like he's going to jump, tell him to sit and give him a treat.  It does require you to always have treats handy because you want to reward often, especially at first.  If he does jump up, turn your back and ignore him.  Don't scold or push him down.  That's giving him attention.  Even negative attention is rewarding to some dogs.  

I agree with Jackie, even negative attention is still attention. Try not to give him any attention until he is calm, especially when you have family or friends over they need to ignore him until he settles down. He'll eventually figure it out. Be patient and keep us posted.

I will defo try that, I'll have to find PJs with pockets for the early morning trip outside haha

Here's a post from our blog with some tips. Hope they come in handy!

You have a couple of options. The first one is to get help from a dog behavior specialist who will help you stop this kind of behavior in your dog. Another option is to rethink why your dog is behaving like this and show him another preferable way to behave. Operant conditioning ivypanda.com/.../operant-conditioning-in-dog-training is one of the most successful ways of enforcing behavioral change in dogs. Here's an explanation of how it works. Try it, and I believe you will see the positive changes in your pet's behavior.

Try turning away, ignoring, and redirecting their energy into a sit or lie down command. Consistent training learnaboutcat.com/.../care-training, positive reinforcement, and maybe even using a leash can help. Soon enough, those muddy paws won't be a problem anymore

I experienced a similar occurrence and ultimately made the decision to pursue the aforementioned option.
