Puppies learn so quickly.
Note her cute sit when she returns. In 24 hours, we have shaped a default behavior when she comes to me — and as a result, she doesn’t jump up. Yay Capella!
The best way to eliminate an undesired behavior (jumping up) is to ignore the jumping up completely and reinforce/shape a desired behavior that the puppy can do instead.
Note: This works well on humans of all ages — stop telling others what NOT to do and instead reinforce/show gratitude for what you want. Seriously — it is magical!
Easy Peasy — if one is intentional with their interactions, human and puppy..
In the midst of the 10+10, projects actually got done — including this one. Have a listen and tell us what you think…
Please have an amazing day filled with perspective and maybe even gratitude.
