Many dogs jump on guests when they become excited, especially during greetings or busy situations. This behavior can be frustrating, but it can usually be improved with consistent training and positive reinforcement.

One of the best ways to train a dog not to jump is to reward calm behavior before jumping starts. Teaching commands like sit and stay can help redirect your dog during greetings and reduce unwanted jumping over time.

Consistency is important. Everyone interacting with the dog should follow the same training approach to avoid reinforcing the behavior accidentally.
