Jumping On People

Dogs jump on people for a variety of reasons, but the most common is to get attention. When a dog jumps on you, it's their way of saying, "Hey! Look at me! Pet me!"

Other reasons for jumping may include: -

• Excitement: Dogs are excited to see their owners and other people, and jumping is a way for them to express that excitement.
• Greeting: Jumping is a natural way for dogs to greet each other, and they may carry over this behaviour to humans as well.
• Dominance: Some dogs jump on people as a way to assert their dominance. This is more likely to be a problem with larger dogs.
• Anxiety: Some dogs jump on people when they are feeling anxious or insecure.

While jumping may be a harmless behaviour for some people, it can be annoying and even dangerous for others, especially children and seniors. It's also important to note that jumping can damage clothing and furniture.
