Do you have a BIG dog that you're trying to stop from jumping? This training video is for you: kzhead.info/sun/dbilor2fhoiYrZE/bejne.html Happy Training!
Yes, our Gordon looks up to the counter and is u there before we know it
Training family and friends is the hardest part!
Fact!!
Love it
So true. It’s frustrating because other people don’t agree with how i want to train my dog
My brother cant stop playing rough with my dog
Amen to that!
I have a 4 month old lab and “launching” is a great description! Lol
I appreciate you actually showing a dog that’s not been fully trained yet mimicking our experience. It’s frustrating sometimes when watching videos where the dog has already been well trained but ours is wild & we’re seeking help. Great video! Y’all at McCann Dogs are awesome! 👏🏻
Yesterday my puppy finally made it on the couch. Today McCann dog training makes a video to stop jumping on the couch. Are yall watching me???? Lol thank you!!!
Same! LOL I wish I saw this video 2 days ago :)
😅🐶
my dog live outside so i have no couch issues but jumping on people and ahhhhh
Did you manage to stop jumping on the couch? 😅
@@Clymnstr kind of. She understands not to but when she has the zoomies she's jumping on everything
I wish I could have Steve praise me every time I do a good job. Love his voice
😳
Ha ha ha😂😅
I really like your positive, kind approach to training. I love my dog and would never want to hurt them or our relationship. I'm a teacher and, just like teaching children, I find that encouragement, guidance and positive encounters produce the best results.
Got my Border Collie pupper 5 days ago, I can tell you the things I picked up from your channel over the months that just passed by are already paying off lots. Thanks for the great content.
I have a 7 month old, 60 lbs Black lab, when he stands up, he's almost my height. 😂 He's such an intelligent dog, he doesn't jump on me, but he does withy husband and friends. This is a great video! Ill be using this, starting today and will share this to my husband. I always carry treats in my pockets. Always. That has really helped me with my training with my baby Lab, Bronn.
You are so calm with her! And she is a dog that everyone would want!
Amazing!!! Thank you for compiling all these different scenarios of jumping! Love you guys!
Great video Steve. It is nice to see that even pro trainers have to work with their dog to obtain the behaviors they want. Some videos make it look so easy. The patience Steve has is admirable.
You're such a likable person! I haven't had great luck with dog trainers who didn't treat me like the problem dog, lol.
Another difficult scenario to control is the bad habit of some people to use their high pitch voice every time they see a puppy. That makes the dogs more excited and difficult to control.
Exactly I have a puppy and I'm trying to get her to be calm on the leash but people go crazy when they see her
Excellent advise, I have this problem daily when people come over. Going to try your advise starting today. THANK YOU!!
Love all your videos. You explain the logic of the why's and the how's which is necessary for first time dog owners to understand. So Thank you!
This is my biggest obstacle with my puppy right now. She loves jumping on everyone and I have an older mother and grandchildren that visit my home often. I'm going to try your advice. Wish me luck and thank you 😊
Did it work?
8 months now, how are things?
@@vickywarlord things are great with my dog now. She's a pit mix that was super jumpy. This video was so helpful. All the McCann videos have helped me so much.
@@shannonlaporte5743 Great!
Thank you! I've watched several videos on how to stop a dog jumping and they all seemed rectionary and haven't been successful. I love tht this is a proactive approach that I can work on.
My dog seems to attract a lot of admiration and attention when we are out walking. She is a gorgeous Sheltie and super friendly. Having trouble stopping her from jumping on everyone we pass on our walks. It’s hard to tell a stranger who wants to pet her not to do so. Should I be telling them “don’t touch her”? She can sense that they Want to give her attention because they are usually saying “ oh! She’s sooo beautifuuul!” Then she gets excited and jumps up on them. But if passerby shows no interest in her she knows it and doesn’t try to pursue their attention. It would be great to have a video about how not to jump on people while you are walking in the parks and streets. 🙏🏻
Thank you very much for this helpful video!
All credit to your training of course!!
Awesome tips. I’m gonna try this with my pup today
Thank you so much my 5month old Female Lab jumps and the things you've said are very helpful and so appreciated she's also teething I hafe to put her in her Crate to calm her down I Love all your Videos 💕💕🐕🐾🐾 please keep them coming
Great video, thank you for this.
My 6 month old poodle loves jumping. I want to train him to stop. It is not only annoying but dangerous. This is very helpful.
Getting lots of ideas for changing my doggos behaviour, its easiest to start with known people. Once he gets that down lets see if he can behave better when ever strangers on walks wants to say hi - which Ive said "Sorry, not today" to in general since I dont want him to rehearse the jumping. Dont agree in general with physical corrections but overall lots of great tips! Thanks.
Great video. Thanks Steve!
My puppy is starting to sit as people walk by, like in a park as I tell them that he’s in training. I’m discouraging them to come up to him yet because once they do come up to him he’ll still then jump, claw, and puppy bite... he’s just 11 weeks.
I have an 8 month old beagle. Being a scent hound he can smell everything everywhere. My issues are him jumping up to the counter, dining table and for some reason on the top of his crate. Anything I put down for him like a bed he'll chew it, even my ruggable area rugs pulling them across the floor. He all of a sudden started pulling on the edges of all of my area rugs. He's always wired coming in from a walk and gets the zoomies running around the floor then grabs the edge of the area rug and pulls it as mentioned. Anytime I say off, I get backtalk barking like a teenager! This is our second beagle. He's much more challenging than our first. Thank you for the informative video. I will try this training and see what happens.
Great video, thanks hank!
awesome guidance thank you
this stuff is soooo great, using a leash indoors, so genius
Great advice! Also really important to teach certain breeds that are susceptible to intervertebral disc disease, such as Dachshunds and Pekingese, and older dogs that have arthritis to not jump up and down high surfaces as this can really hurt them. :)
I love the advice.
We just got our first couch today (got our first puppy a week ago) and this has been sooo helpful
So my puppy is still being born. Currently she's about negative a month and a half old. Lol. I'm watching as much as I can, to teach my Staffordshire Bull Terrier as much as I can teach her.
So much fun to watch
Thank you for the tips. I will be doing this with my new puppy. I think Fred Flintstone should watch this for his Dino when he comes home from work.
That is one of our biggest challenges with our almost 5 months old Border Collie. I am trying to get this under control before he gets too big. Another great video as always! Will implement the techniques at home.
Ugh Same here. Have a 6 month old Aussie and trying to control it before he gets too big and he's already too big to do that for children and elderly folks.
Yep I feel your pain. I’ve a 3 month old collie. She’s a handful
Love the videos. What treats do you use?
Great video!
Love this! Question - just got a 6mo rescue (pointer mix) who jumps. How do I handle the fact that our 9yo Aussie has a longstanding history of being allowed on the furniture at will, but we want to train our new puppy girl to have better manners? Working with the 9yo but she will be a bad example even if by some miracle she eventually “gets” it
9:20 cheeze sandwich crazy eyes 👀 lol
I instantly said my dogs name. And kinda chuckled but also rolled my eyes. 😩
Danke!
U All are just awsome
great vid! what treats are you using?
Good stuff
I’d like to see how to teach a dog that is not food driven not to jump. My dog isn’t interested in food when he’s excited.
Use a toy as a treat for good behaviour. You’re dog maybe a people pleaser so praise instead of using a treat treat. Hope this helps
Hank looks exactly like my Loona. I love it! ❤️
Great video. What treats are you using?
How in the heavens do you guys read our mind. I needed this video. Thank you Steve.
Hank looks very much like my girl, which somehow made this video resonate even more. Very helpful, thanks!
I have a 4 year old Boston Terrier. His name is Ollie. He has been with my boyfriend since he was a baby. It was just the two of them for about 3 years. I would go over and visit and he was such a calmer and more well behaved dog when it was just the two of them living together. He would still climb on people and think he was smaller than he actually is (he is a big boy, about 45 pounds), but my boyfriend would let him do that. My boyfriend moved in with me about a year and a half ago. Ollie went from being a bachelor in sunny Georgia, to having to share attention with two cats up in snowy Wisconsin. My two cats, I both adopted 2 and 3 years ago. Nova, spent three years at the shelter. She was the longest resident at the time. She is a VERY shy timid cat. Does not like to be held. LOVES pets but is still a little anxious when you initially go to pet her. She is about 6 and a 1/2 now as I have had her for around 3 years. Ember, I adopted about two years ago. She is a very friendly and curious cat. She came from a hoarder house so she doesn’t have the best of manners yet but is definitely improving. When we first introduced the cats to Ollie, Ember was scared and nova just didn’t really care. She just observed from a distance. Ollie was always just more curious of them in the beginning. As time went on, Nova and Ollie kept ignoring each other and Ember and Ollie became closer friends. They would sniff each other and play a little. They got more comfortable around each other and started to play more and more. Now, as I mentioned...Ollie does not realize how big he is and he is a rough player. Ember will be walking across the room and Ollie will come up all playfully and knock her right over. Ollie likes to playfully nip at her belly and ember playfully swats at him. However, after awhile, Nova and Ollie started to not like each other. Nova is extremely protective of Ember. If Ollie plays a little too hard and causes Ember to meow, Nova will get in a protection stance and hiss at Ollie. This then causes Ollie to turn around and bark constantly at Nova. Nova would just stand there in her stance and Ollie would bark and bark and bark. If Ollie got too close, Nova would give him a little swat. Normally at that point Ollie would back off but then continue to look all over the place barking and barking. Fast forward now to months later and Nova doesn’t even acknowledge Ollie anymore. She doesn’t pay him any attention. Sometimes she tries to be playful with him by rolling over and meowing a little but Ollie just continues to bark and bark and bark. Nova sits up in her cat tree looking the other way and Ollie will just come up and bark and bark at her. We had to put a little kennel fence up around the cat tree cause Ollie would put his two front paws up there which would upset Nova. He barks at everything constantly. Sports are the worst on TV. Any animal on tv, anyone who knocks at the door. If he is sitting outside on his leash. He will bark at any dog or person walking by. He is very aggressive towards other dogs that walk past him while he is on his outside leash which we have attached to the house. He did once get off it and lunge after a dog. He has done similar things also. He never did really get along with dogs but never showed that much aggression. I think it’s because that’s his territory. If we are out walking on a leash, he doesn’t even look at a dog anymore if he sees one. We managed to train him there. He is constantly jumping up on people. Anyone who comes in the door. He is sooooo hyper and and excited when anyone or even my boyfriend or I walk in the door. We can’t get him to stop jumping up. Then he goes and barks some more at the cats. He is very territorial. Anywhere he sleeps, that is his space. If you put your hand down to pet him when he is sleeping, he snaps. He has never purposely attacked a person but if he is sleeping and snaps, his tooth has gotten caught on people before. Or, if he is playing too hard. We have tried so many things, dog training classes, constant treats, time outs, nothing seems to work. We’ve tried the clicker training, beeping and vibration collar. We haven’t tried the shock setting yet as it was our last resort. At this point, we would be open to it. We play with him constantly and he gets taken on a lot of walks. He is definitely not lacking attention. But if we give attention to either of the cats instead of him, he gets extremely jealous and upset. Any advice?
I tried this with the couch. The problem I had was that, as I started slowing down with the treats, she started barking at me to demand more treats. She wasn’t really calming down!
I have this problem....she just barks like crazy when the treats stop...
Treats are a bribe not a real connection I try not to use them except for vet visits, crate training and learning to like the collar or leash
My husband says he’d like a well done for pooping in the right place.
Good info now I don’t get a lot of visitors to my apartment, so how would you handle to not want to jump on people when you’re walking them outdoors daily. My dog loves to jump on people outdoors when I come across another dog walker or neighbor , how do it train him not to jump up on people outside, sometimes these folks want to pet my dog which happens to be super friendly dog. I ask him to sit but he quickly jumps up on people when they pet him. What do I do to curtail this behavior.
First comment is for your wife on taking a toy away from a puppy, great ideas that I will try thanks again!!! I have problem once i have his outfit on he is biting his collar to the outfit!!! I also enjoyed very much things to do so your puppy won't jump on you, sofa, counter in the kitchen, great techniques!! You are going to make me a great leader!
Great video. We do not get much company. When Lexi (young new Border Collie) jumps up on me I say NO & turn my back to her. She does calm down although she has only been here for about two weeks. I do want to learn another way so this video will do just that. Thank you. Judi
Video Request: "Let me work!" I've been trying to use this video to help my dog stop nuzzling my hand away from the keyboard or climbing on my chair while I work, and can't quite apply it. She's a retired service/companion dog, 5 years old. Loves people! So exuberant. Has all the basics and responds well to treats, but I'm stuck. With all the people working from home these days I thought this might be a good video topic.
My puppy is almost trained not to mouth all the time now. Part of training him not to jump on me when I’m walking around the house seems to be keeping my hands by my side and not swinging them. His nose wants to stay down near the possible food source and there’s no moving hands to excite him to play. Discovered this by chance observing him.
What reward treat do you use? I assume I can use this method for my 4 month old who wants to chase cars these days when we try to walk the neighborhood.
That video will save my life
How old is Hank and what is his weight? Vid was very helpful for our 12 week lab mix :)
I hope you read this comment I would really love the advice! I'm confused and dont want to do the wrong thing! Firstly, I want to say thank you for all the work you put into your videos! It shows and it really helps...you are my favourite dog trainers and I love your training style! My question: I will be flying out to get my puppy in a few weeks. He will be flying back with me and we will get back 8:30pm (it's the best I could do, no earlier flights unfortunately) this leave me very little time to introduce him to his crate and make it a fun place for him. I'm worried putting him into a crate the first night will make him view it negatively and affect future crate training etc. Especially since he will have been in his travel crate for quite a few hours during our travel. Should I let him sleep on the bed with me. Should I sleep on the floor with him... am I over thinking 😳
IMO you should still put him in a crate first night. Maybe put treats or something to chew on. This way he sees the crate as a safe place and not a place where he’s being put because he’s in trouble.
oh my gosh! Hank is so big now!
I'm just about to adopt a 2 year old lab. No history on him but he looks quite energetic and I think he has had zero training. Could you point me in the right direction to help him learn and be comfortable in his new environment? Thank you.
Excellent advice. Can you help with my springer spaniel jumping when I'm trying to get ready for a walk please?
Love this video! I have not trained my dog. She has many of these annoying habits... jumping on people, couch surfing and stealing off the counter when my back is turned and lunging on leash aggressively at other dogs. Is she too old at 7 to train?
No dog is too old to train!
It will take consistency and time with everyone involved, but it’s absolutely possible!
Watching as my dog jumps up to say hi.
What type of treats are you using for training?
Should we use collar or harness? I typically harness my puppy, will it work just the same?
How do you extend it to when you're not in the room? Our pup is fine when we're in the kitchen, when we cook she goes to her place and chills and she will ignore food on the counter while we are present. As soon as we leave the room she jumps up on the counter to check for food even if the counters clean
The dog is always looking to play if you put hands on them! Teach your family and friends if their coming they now are put of training,🥰👍😄
My 6 month old is not food oriented, the second he sees a human/animal within any kind of distance he goes crazy... all he wants to do is run over to them for attention and cuddles. So frustrating. Thanks for the tips I’m gonna really try work on his sit. Any suggestions of treats he will be more interested in?
we have two puppies. Is there a couple of hints on how to manage two together? Actually all the training. I do try to separate them to train separately but things like jumping is trickier.
How did you get the fur so shiny?
Great dog, is he a mix or a breed dog?
does anyone know what age would be appropriate to begin this training?
cool
could you make a video something like this but for a 12 week old puppy?
Starts at 4:08
Talks WAY too much. I could make dinner and wash the dishes in this time frame.
@@carylhalfwassen8555 lmao 🤣
I just adopted a 34 lbs, 3 year Queensland Heeler stray from a shelter who is house trained but apparently was accustomed to jumping in laps, being on the couch, and jumping in the middle of beds in bedrooms none which I am not allowing him to do at the moment. I am actively working to correct this behavior by crate training him and introducing him to a dog bed with positive reinforcement techniques and treats; however, it looks like he is not food motivated. Do you have any suggestions on how to correct these bad habits?
Can you comment on what you are feeding this black lab for treats? What does everyone use when feeding treats this often?
My girl loves ziwi tripe and lamb dried dog food for training.
Thank you for teaching people this. A lot of people do not want anyone’s stinky disgusting dog on them.
What do you do when the dog is not interested in treats or toys when they’re really exited?
get a leash on, take him away from the guest or excitement till he is calm, walk a bit closer then turn around back and forth, till you get closer to the guest and he is still listening.
Yep I have a big dog. I can't get anyone to come over. They are afraid of him. So getting him not to jump is a challenge. He goes crazy even when someone walks by.
And the number one message we need to get out there to everybody as trainers is: We allow puppies when they're very little to jump up on us because it is innocuous and adorable and then when they get bigger they're suddenly not allowed to do that. It's one of the most confusing and unfair thing we do to them. Not only is it something that's suddenly not allowed but it's something that they've been being rewarded for their whole early puppyhood! We need to teach our puppies from the very beginning not to jump up on us by simply only giving them affection and play with them when they are not jumping on our legs when they're little. This sudden change of rules just because they got bigger does not make sense to them and makes training more challenging. It's SO hard to resist an itty bitty jumping little puppy on our legs but we can still give them just as much affection and laugh and play with them the second they put all four on the floor....❤
Where did you get your dog bed??
How do you do this training if your dog is not food motivated
I have been watching your videos & attempted to put a house leash on my puppy but all he does is chew the leash the entire time it’s on him and is so distracted by the leash, we cannot get any actual training done. Any tips?
Put apple bitter on the leash,
What kind of treats do you use? It seems that in training one can go through a ton of treats. What's a cheap, yummy treat to use? Homemade suggestions? Thanks.
How do you train a small dog
I really enjoy the McCann videos, however, sometimes the talking is too fast to follow well. People with some cognitive decline or other attention issue might find it hard to follow even after watching. I'd love to see some videos with simpler directions for older people or even for kids to learn how to work with their dogs using these techniques. In a family, all members have to know what to do when it comes to house training, manners, safety, and other ways a dog needs to be trained. But it usually falls to one person, rarely a professional dog trainer, who has to learn this stuff and pass it along to the rest of the family. So we're not just training the dog, we're training the whole family.
You can change the speed of KZhead videos to suit your needs. You want to make the playback slower.
is there a really effective high value treat that appeals to most dogs? like a specific brand of salmon treat that isn't terribly expensive etc
It’s got to be so worth it for the dog. Bits of cooked chicken works well.
Yep
When working with dog jumping on people, how to teach a "proper" way for them to great guests? My dog can stay in a position when people come over, but once i let him loose of the position, he goes crazy excited, jumping and licking. I would like to teach him how to great people so that it would be safe and not disruptive, but so he would still have a chance to say hello, calm down and get used to others being around. Would you have any advice on that? :)
Hi there, Aurelija! This video will be helpful: kzhead.info/sun/qJWvk818kH6GjY0/bejne.html Happy Training! ~Ken
My collie cross is a very excitable and jumpy dog, and she’s desperate to meet people when we’re out on walks. Annoyingly, so many of them reward her jumping up by saying hello, even if I ask them not to. So I’ve still not managed to train that out of her. One day we walked past a house where a mother with her two very young toddlers were preparing to go out. The kids started to run over, and I told them not to, my dog is very over-excitable and she’ll jump up on them. The mother told her kids not to come over but to wave at my dog from afar. We had a brief little chat, the toddlers were asking questions, and my dog was calm. The kids looked like they were going to come over and I reminded them not to. Then just as I was moving my dog on to leave, and turned my back for a second, the youngest toddler came tearing over to my dog, my dog thought this was a great game and jumped up before I could even tug the lead to move her away, and the kid ended up on the floor. The kid’s crying, her brother is screaming, the mother is rushing to comfort her daughter while also apologising to me for her kid running at my dog, I’m apologising to her while pulling my dog away, and my dog is jumping up wondering what the hell just happened. We all learnt a lesson that day. The kids don’t run over now though, they very much wave from afar.
Hank is the spit of my rescue dog Mabel who was a stray in Greece. What breed is he please?
Looks like a lab imo
looking into adopting a big rotti mix, and he loves jumping on people. he could definitely knock someone over if they weren’t prepared to be jumped on
ANT ADVIXE IS HELPFUL I have a question My dog gets very exited when we are playing with toys its nearly impossible to get her to let me have it to throw it and if I do get it my hand she jumps up and tyes to grab it. And if I have treats with me to reward her when she doesn't jump up, she has no interest what so ever in the toy and will only be focused on the treets. I will be able to throw the toy but she won't go get it instead she will stay next to me with the treats and she won't get any energy out. And if I don't have any treats at all she won't listen. PLEASE ANY ADVICE IS HELPFUL
if you work on just "wait/stay" and "release" commands, sometimes when my dog gets too focused on treats, i can say "release" and she'll snap out of it. so, work on wait and release, it pays off!
