Finally, the most important aspect when training your dog is to make sure you are not rewarding the bad behavior. Many people inadvertently reward the behavior by getting excited right along with their dog when they come home, which in turn creates the perfect environment for him to jump up. By remaining calm, turning your body away from your dog, not making eye contact, and ignoring your dog when it is jumping will stop the jumping because it no longer gets her any attention, which is what your dog craves.
