How can I stop my dog from jumping on me? Pt 1

I'm often asked about how to stop dogs from jumping up on people. I'll start with a basic strategy in this blog.

When the dog jumps up, spin away. Just turn your body the other direction, and move away, causing the dog to glance off of you. If she comes around to the front and tries again, spin away and turn. Don't give the dog attention of any kind. Even negative attention is attention. What you're trying for here is to show the dog that the jumping behavior simply leads to the opposite of what the dog is trying to achieve. The dog wants your attention. So show the dog through your action that jumping up DOES NOT lead to praise and attention. As soon as the dog stops jumping up, focus on him, perhaps ask for a SIT, and pet and praise.

Be sure to tell your friends and family about this training plan so everyone is on board and consistent.
