Did you know when a dog jumps up to greet, it’s a normal behavior learned from early days with their litter as a way to get mom’s attention? 🤔

However over time, a dog jumping, regardless of size, can cause physical harm if greeting children or elderly adults. Here’s some helpful tips on how to teach your dog how to appropriately greet.

💁🏻♀️ Tell all of your guests not to pay any attention to your dog upon arrival, especially when they are over excited.
