Why It Happens Wednesday:
Why do dogs jump on people?
👉 Usually excitement, attention-seeking, or not knowing what else to do.

Teach an alternate behavior like “sit to greet” and reward calm greetings.

Training Tip Tuesday:
Loose leash walking 101: Teach your dog to check in with you on walks. Reward eye contact, keep sessions short, and practice in calm areas first.

Small steps = big progress. 🐕💪
