Allow me to share some tips for masters of lively German Shepherds that usually jump on anything and anybody.

Jumping may seem like an act of joy or exuberance. While he is small, you may be tempted to indulge your German Shepherd and let him jump, but do not do it. He will grow fast and could cause significant damage when he still jumps on you or anything when he’s grown up. It is important to stop German Shepherd jumping as fast as possible.

These wonderful canines are desperate to learn new things and when rewarded with a treat. Even when the shepherd is going to be used as a protection dog, you still need to train it with treats to stop jumping. But tread lightly when your puppy is meant to be taught as a protection dog later on.

The Right Command is Vital

If you’re optimistic, you’ll be able to achieve this challenge soon. Be sure you have a reward ready for when the German Shepherd tries hard to keep himself from jumping on you. You can do training with or without a leash. If on lead, the “alpha” should place himself directly behind your dog with the lead shortened to about twelve inches. This will allow the “alpha” to pull down on the lead as soon as the dog indicates he is about to rear (leap). Physical action should be accompanied by verbal command. Keep the lead close to the flooring while shushing your dog and giving treats. One does not yell to stop a German Shepherd jumping. Offer the treat before you start the training once more. If he does not respond quickly, be patient. You have to repeat the action and the command over and over until he gets it. Your German Shepherd will get it soon enough. One word of caution needs to be applied here. Never use the command “down” to fix the jumping behavior. “Down” is to be used when you need the dog to lay flat on the floor or ground.

To stop German Shepherd jumping from in front of the dog is a bit special. When the dog comes to you and you know that he is about to leap, extend your right hand before his nose and use the order “no”. When the rearing is abated, reward the dog with a treat. For this, you may do a combination of the command for stopping the jump and the command for lying flat on the ground. Your dog will become uneasy when you firmly lie him down and will do as you say.
