Practical guidance

Jumping

Jumping often continues because excitement and attention reward it, even when people are trying to stop it.

What this can look like

Jumping on family or guests
Overexcited greetings
Difficulty settling after arrivals

A useful place to begin

Practice a clear greeting routine before visitors arrive.

Reward four paws on the floor and calm behavior consistently.

Exact first steps

Before a greeting, keep your dog on leash and place treats low by your leg. Reward four paws down before the person approaches.

If jumping begins, the person calmly steps away. Attention returns only when paws are back on the floor.

Practice with one prepared helper before expecting the behavior around excited guests or strangers.

Every dog and situation is different. This information is educational and does not promise a specific behavioral outcome.

Send your request.

Mitchell will review it and follow up personally.

Sending this form does not collect payment. Mitchell will text within 1–2 days to learn more and schedule your session.

Your first $65 session includes about 15 minutes of evaluation followed by hands-on training, so you begin working on the problem and can see progress that day. Each follow-up private session is $125.

Payment is due on the day of training by cash, Zelle, or Venmo.

Missed private lessons require at least 24 hours advance cancellation.

You selected a training program. You’re on your way to a well-trained dog.

Mitchell will text you within 1–2 days. He’ll learn a little more about your dog and schedule a $65 evaluation.

The goal is the fewest sessions needed. Sometimes the issue is fixed during the evaluation. Other times a few lessons—not a package—are the better recommendation.
