Why Your Canine Friend Jumps on Guests (And Why Yelling "No" Makes It Worse)

It's the moment you dread. The doorbell rings, and before you can even open the door, your canine friend barks, whines, and prepares to lunge towards your guests. You yell "NO!", you try to hold him back, maybe you've even tried the "knee in the chest" trick.

Stop yelling 'Down'

Yet, every single time, the chaos repeats.

Here's the problem: You are misinterpreting the action.

You think your canine friend is jumping because they are excited or happy. This is a human interpretation.

From "The Dog's Perspective," jumping is not a greeting. It is an act of domination.

When your canine friend jumps on you or a guest, they are doing a job. They are attempting to:

1. End an unauthorized movement (the guest entering the pack center).

2. Take responsibility for the situation.

3. Dominate the new, "unbalanced" energy entering the home.

When you respond by yelling, pushing, or getting frustrated, you do not stop the behavior. You only prove to your canine friend that you are also unbalanced, reinforcing their belief that they need to be the manager.

You cannot solve a management problem with "training" commands or punishment. You must learn the respectful, non-confrontational King Dog Academy (KDA) - The Dog Perspective Method to end this unauthorized movement and take the responsibility back.

The complete, step-by-step method to stop jumping respectfully is waiting for you. It involves no treats, no pain, and no yelling.
