You will discover the best ways to act and react in the moment of your dog’s bad behavior.

Part Two – Your Actions in the Moment

At your house, your dog is perfect.
It is just those few times your dog misbehaves and jumps.
This is why correcting behaviors like this are so frustrating.
When you now are in the moment, all that attention is just that…ATTENTION.
Attention is what teaches your dog in every given situation.
It does not matter if it is good or bad attention.
What do you do now?
- In that moment, remember that you have your leash on your dog and you have control.
- Quickly pull your dog away and move.
Bennie in past episodes talked about using a phrase to let your dog know you are moving.
Say that phrase right after you say, “No”
You HAVE to get your dog away from the situation.
DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT try to make your dog do a command.
In that moment, you are only working on your dog doing the command in more distracting situations
You are NOT working on the behavior…
Look for this behavior in the moment or you will never be able to fix the problem of Jumping-Up.
Once you have taken your dog far enough away from the situation that your dog is paying attention to you, you then can relax.
- Relax the leash
- Relax your attitude.
This is time to really watch to see what triggers your dog into jumping.
- Is it the friend?
- Is it the friend’s dog?
- Is it both?
Re-approach, and now get only close enough that your dog is still paying attention and still choosing to stay on all fours.
