Whether your dog is jumping on passers-by while on a walk or on visiting guests, keeping them on a leash, with the leash in your hand, gives you much more control over the situation. I used a free-standing gate with a built-in door for my entryway, which you can see below: Gates blocking doorways are also essential if your dog tries to door dash. Not only is this useful in preventing your dog from pouncing on you when you walk through the door, but it's also an ideal setup for training practice. Set up a baby gate, a sturdy free-standing gate, or an exercise pen to block off areas where jumping happens the most (such as the front door or other entryways). And on the flip side, make sure you aren't rewarding your dog with these things when they are jumping.
Remember that your attention can be a real-life dog training reward! Looking at, touching, or talking to your dog, even sternly, is rewarding to them - so make sure you're using these to reward your dog for behaviors you like.
Always wear a treat pouch, like this one I use from Petsafe, when on walks with your dog.Keep a fun dog toy in the garage so you can grab it before you walk inside.Have a dog "cookie" jar on your kitchen counter.There are lots of great ideas for wall-mounted treat jars that you can find online or DIY. Hang a jar of treats on the wall (high enough that your dog can't reach it) by doorways.Keep treats in your car so you can grab a few before you go inside to greet your dog.Plan for preemptive and proactive training! Here are a few ways to make sure you've got easy access to training rewards: If your dog loves a certain toy, make sure it's easily accessible to grab and reward with a game of tug or fetch. Keep stashes of treats where you need them. Most often, training treats are the highest value reward for most dogs. Have something you can use to reward your dog with when they get it right. Is it the front door when you arrive home? Is it in the kitchen when you're preparing meals? Is it when you're on a leashed walk and they want to greet someone? Wherever or whenever their jumping occurs, be prepared to take advantage of the training opportunity! Think about where your dog tends to jump on people the most. If your dog isn't able to jump on you in the first place, there isn't the chance their jumping might accidentally be rewarded by you. Every time your dog is successful in jumping on you, the more it becomes a habit. Set up the environment to your advantage. Set Your Dog Up For Success: Managing the Environment

We'll cover what "negative punishment" means further below, and how to use it when teaching your dog not to jump.) ( Hint: these aren't the types of punishments you might think of off the top of your head! Pushing, kneeing, or yelling at a dog rarely works to teach a dog to stop jumping in the long run, and has unintended consequences.
