This is the fourth installment of GoodPup’s new webinar series: Surrender Prevention; Addressing Common Behavioral Challenges.
During the spring webinar series, GoodPup will break down how to provide some preventive management and simple solutions for addressing a variety of common behavioral challenges experienced with the welcoming of new family members. The series begins in January with House Training struggles including common setbacks and the demands encountered within different lifestyles. Then they’ll dabble into other challenges during the following months including barking, jumping, mouthiness, crate concerns and reactivity to unfamiliar people.
This month’s topic is: Jumping!
There are a variety of reasons that dogs jump. It may provide a solution for them to get what they want or need. Or, it may just be a way for them to express themselves; to communicate. And, while jumping is a normal behavior for our dogs, if left unaddressed, it can certainly become an undesired and even unsafe one.
In this webinar GoodPup will focus on how best to address our dogs that love to jump. We’ll identify different reasons why our dogs jump. Then we’ll explore how to prevent the jumping from becoming a problem and we’ll build some plans together as a group to help us solve when jumping is already a problem. This is one team discussion you won’t want to miss.
GoodPup will be following their April webinar with a May webinar on mouthy behavior. Again, they’ll discuss various situations where dogs express mouthiness; talk about how to use management to help prevent the behavior from ever starting and lastly look at some problem solving tips with dogs that are already displaying the behavior as a concern.
