Eliminating Unwanted Behaviour
Jumping Up
Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your pet
to jump on you, then friends or members of the family should not
encourage this behaviour. That means every time your pet jumps on
someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and
acceptable behaviour, for which he can receive praise.
Note: It is best if your pet first understands the “Sit” command.
1. Choose your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. As soon as your pet lifts his paws off the ground to jump on you,
press the Lower Button (Spray Correction) and give the command
“Sit.”
3. Release the Lower Button (Spray Correction) immediately once
your pet is sitting, and verbally praise him.
4. If your pet ignores the spray correction, increase the Spray Level
by 1.
5. Practice this exercise in several different areas and use different
people for distractions.
