Hey there, dog lovers! 🐶 Welcome back to another exciting episode of our podcast. I'm Pamela Brown from Down 4 Paws Dog Training, and today, we're diving deep into a topic that baffles and bothers many pet parents: Why do dogs jump on people? Have you ever wondered why your furry friend can't seem to keep all four paws on the ground when guests arrive or even when you're just hanging out at home? Well, you're not alone! This is one of the most common issues dog owners face, and I always get calls about it. In this episode, we will explore the science behind this bouncy behavior. Is it just for fun, or is there more to it? You might be surprised to learn that we, as pet parents, play a big role in encouraging this behavior, often without even realizing it! I'll share some quick and easy tips on how to calm your canine and keep them grounded, including the "stand like a tree" method that works wonders for both kids and adults. Plus, we'll talk about how to manage those overly enthusiastic greetings and ensure your guests can enter your home without being pounced on.
