Teach Your Dog to Greet People CALMLY (No More Jumping & Pulling)

Does your dog go absolutely crazy when they meet new people, jumping, biting, and pulling on the leash? It's one of the most common issues dog owners face, but with the right training, you can teach your dog to approach people calmly and with good manners. In this complete guide, McCann Dogs instructor Carol shows you a step-by-step process to help your dog learn self-control and make greetings a positive experience for everyone. We'll cover: - Building Distance & Focus: Learn how to manage your dog's energy and prevent over-excitement by starting at the right distance. - Using Leash Pressure Effectively: Understand how to use leash tension to guide your dog's attention back to you, rather than letting them pull towards people. - Rewarding Calm Choices: Discover how to reward your dog for making good decisions and maintaining focus, leading to less pulling and jumping. - Avoiding Counterproductive Rewards: Learn what not to do to prevent accidentally encouraging unwanted behaviours like pulling. - Gradual Progression & Self-Control: How to slowly increase the difficulty and distractions, empowering your dog to impose their own self-control. - Training Without Bribery: Why rewarding choices, rather than bribing, creates a dog that calms itself down internally. - Managing High-Energy Greetings: Specific techniques for dealing with jumping, including using treats and strategic leash handling.
