Methods to correct a dog from attacking people

1. First, you have to find something that the dog really doesn’t like, such as a water gun or a spray can filled with water.
2. Then, try to make the puppy associate the water gun with the signal "Don't do this again". The command "no" is telling the puppy that "this behavior will be punished." The timing of "no" is very important. You must tell the puppy the moment it makes an incorrect action. The action of spraying water can be delayed for a few seconds.
3. Training process: 1. The puppy pounces on people; 2. Say "no" to it; 3. Spray water on the puppy; 4. Ignore it temporarily (about one to two minutes); 5. Continue this process until the dog stops jumping; 6. When the puppy starts jumping again, say "sit" to it; 7. If it sits down obediently, give it a reward.

Key points in correcting dogs for attacking people

1. The most effective way to overcome this behavior of dogs is circuit training. When your puppy jumps on you, back away and immediately coax him to sit. Praise it and give it a treat when it sits. This will quickly make the puppy understand that to get attention, he must sit down and not jump on people.
2. When a dog sits at your feet and looks at you, you must know that it wants attention. If you ignore it, it will jump on you again. On the other hand, if you reward your puppy as soon as he sits, the behavior will disappear quickly.
