This is a classic "annoying problem" that, unfortunately, we bring on ourselves. It is so great when you get your little puppy. They are so full of life and just wanting affection all day long. We have them jump on us and we give them hugs, chase them around the room, play with them when they bring us toys, pet them when they nudge our hands, and a whole lot of other "puppy things".
The problem is that we are now socializing them to particular behaviors. We are teaching them how to jump, chase, and demand attention. The problem is that Wolfie learns in a very black and white method. If we teach him to jump, it is OK to jump on everybody all the time. If we teach him to demand attention, he can demand attention from everybody all the time.
As we interact with our puppies or dogs, we must understand that whatever we ask them to do, from their perspective, they can do with anyone all the time. "Wolfie can jump on me, but not my guests" is something that we might be able to understand, but Wolfie will not understand. All Wolfie can understand is "I can jump". So if Wolfie is performing any action that you would not allow him to perform anytime with anybody, you must teach him that is not what you want him to do.
The bottom line is to think of your rules, or what you want Wolfie to do through his eyes. Examples of what your rules might be are:
- No jumping.
- Off the furniture.
- Not in babys room.
- No counter surfing...
When things are simple and straightforward, Wolfie gets it. For more information, please contact The Best Dog Trainers in South Florida.
