Prevent German Shepherd Jumping

By Chris Miller


If you want to prevent your German Shepherd from jumping on people and furniture, allow me to share some tips.

Jumping may seem like an act of happiness or excitement. With a large dog, like the German Shepherd, it is a good idea to break him of this habit when he is a pup. He will grow fast and could cause substantial damage when he still jumps on you or anything when he's grown up. Attempt to stop him before the behavior becomes involuntary to him.

One thing that you have to know is that this kind of training needs treats. A pup shouldn't be expected to do something like stop jumping and not get a reward. When in training for protection, jumping is a part of your dog's early training requirement.

The Precise Command is Vital

If you're optimistic, you'll be able to achieve this challenge soon. Be sure you have a reward ready for when the German Shepherd tries hard to keep himself from jumping on you. You can do training with or without a leash. If on lead, the "alpha" should place himself directly behind your dog with the lead shortened to about twelve inches. This will allow the "alpha" to pull down on the lead as soon as the dog indicates he is about to rear (leap). Physical action should be accompanied by verbal command. Keep the lead close to the flooring while shushing your dog and giving treats. One does not yell to stop a German Shepherd jumping. Offer the treat before you start the training once more. If he does not respond quickly, be patient. You have to repeat the action and the command over and over until he gets it. Your German Shepherd will get it soon enough. One word of caution needs to be applied here. Never use the command "down" to fix the jumping behavior. "Down" is to be used when you need the dog to lay flat on the floor or ground.

To stop German Shepherd jumping from before the dog is a bit special. When your dog comes at you, hold up your hand in front of his nose and say the command. When he prevents himself from jumping, give the reward. When you utilize the word "no" and your right hand is in front of the dog's nose, continue the hand to the ground and announce the command "down". This act must be taken with the right hand coming into contact with the head of the dog and in a soft manner, push his head to the ground.
