What you’ll learn
- Training approach & ‘off’ cue: Why most anti‑jumping work is pre‑emptive and how to make ‘off’ a rewarded cue (not a punishment). Includes a 5‑step “Paws On & Off” drill to add value to getting down.
- Middle & Middle on the Move: Bring your dog in close between your legs for a secure no‑jump position; progress to short walking bursts while maintaining the position.
- Engage & Disengage: Teach your dog to notice people/dogs and then choose to look away and reconnect with you, starting at a comfortable distance.
- Settle: Build sustained calm on a blanket or bed with clear criteria (lying down, soft body language) and longer gaps between rewards; ideal for visitors.
- Send to Bed: Step‑up progression from first paw on the bed to all fours → sit/down → distance sends, so you can keep paws on the floor when guests arrive.
- Auto Sits & Downs: Supercharge a default sit/down so your dog offers it automatically as a polite way to ask for attention (instead of leaping).
What’s inside
- A 10‑page PDF with clear, photo‑supported, step‑by‑step instructions for each exercise.
- Practical notes on distance, distraction levels, and reward placement to keep learning positive and predictable.
- A reminder to keep everyone’s greeting rules consistent (family, friends, even strangers) so jumping doesn’t get accidentally reinforced.
