Dogs are known for their boundless excitement, often leaping up when their owners return home. They may exhibit similar behaviours when you have visitors over, especially since you yourself

may be more animated and excited as you invite them in. This can make your dog want to join in on the excitement by jumping up to get attention.

However, not everyone appreciates such an exuberant welcome. Training your pet not to jump on people is usually beneficial. But what's the trick to discouraging your pup from pouncing?

An experienced dog trainer suggests a straightforward tactic that involves just one key principle.

Jamie Diaz, an accomplished dog trainer with over a decade and a half of experience, revealed a straightforward method to curb jumping in a recent TikTok video. Ignoring your dog completely

is touted as an effective strategy.

She illustrated her technique with a dog named Lily during training. Jamie entered the room without acknowledging Lily, avoiding eye contact and verbal reprimands until the dog settled down.

The trainer advised against giving any form of attention, whether through direct interaction or corrective words.
