Patricia McConnell has these words of advice about dogs jumping up:
"Avoid doing what comes naturally, which is pushing dogs away with your hands. Dogs respond to this as if you were playing, and leap back with even more enthusiasm. It's so very common for people to say "down" when dogs jump up on them. But think about is: down isn't the problem, it's jumping up in the first place! All dogs are going to go down eventually! Besides, aren't you teaching your dog to lie down to "down?" Using the word to mean two different things -lie down and don't jump up - is just another way to confuse your dog."
