In this article, you will learn how to stop your dog from furniture jumping in your home! If your dog is not behaving, it's time to do something about it. Dogs have a tendency to jump on furniture, whether it is the living room sofa or the kitchen chair. In order to stop your dog from furniture jumping, it is important to train him before the situation gets out of hand. Here are some tips. Whether you are home or not, dogs genuinely want to be as close to their owners as possible. Thus, they tend to jump on the sofa and sit along side you; or when alone; they may jump on a piece of furniture nearest to the window; waiting for you to come home. Stopping your dog from furniture jumping can be put to an end by using commands in which your dog will understand this behavior is no longer acceptable. Simply take the dog by his collar, and gently take him off the furniture. At the same time, firmly tell him “no,” and turn away. Repeat this method every time you catch him on your furniture. Once he understands what behavior is expected, he will stop. Subscribe now to the Pet ComfortNewsletter, your trusted source for pet news. Subscribe today, I'll give you a $17 gift. Act now!

After all, he simply wants your attention. So give it to him in a calm, caring and loving manner, but at the same time use commands and words repeatedly to ensure his behavior conforms to your wishes. Stopping a dog from furniture jumping is a problem most pet owners face on a daily basis. While initially it may seem cute, eventually it could become a chronic behavior that must be dealt with. If you train your dog early in conforming to the rules of your home, you shouldn’t have any problems. If, however, you do encounter this type of behavior, don’t wait. Act upon it immediately.
