Plan ready in under 90 secondsThe Problem
Your dog jumps because it loves you. Punishing the jump punishes the love. Teach it a better way to say 'I love you.' The hug.
70 lbs of dog airborne. Paws on your chest. Coffee spills. Guest stumbles. 'No! Down!' doesn't work because yelling IS attention.
Jumping is maintained by attention. Any response — verbal, physical, eye contact — reinforces it. The fix: replace jumping with a behavior that earns MORE attention.
'Sit for greeting' works sometimes. But when someone exciting arrives: the sit breaks in 2 seconds. Because sit competes with arousal. Hug channels it.
'Sit' asks the dog to SUPPRESS energy. 'Hug' gives the energy a TARGET (press head into your leg). A behavior that channels arousal > a behavior that fights it.
3 hug behaviors matched to size and temperament. A 3-week plan. Jumping replacement protocol. The 'hug' becomes the dog's greeting.
The plan: pick the hug behavior (head press, lean, chin rest), teach it in 3 weeks, replace jumping with it, and proof it against distractions.
Week 1: lure with treat against your leg (50 reps/day). Week 2: add the cue word. Week 3: practice with real arrivals. By Day 21: the dog hugs instead of jumps.
Based on typical learning curves: 3–5 days to understand the behavior, 7–10 days to respond to the cue, 14–21 days to generalize to real greetings.
What You Get
Not 'stop jumping.' A hug that replaces the jump. Same closeness. Four paws on the floor.
Hug Behavior Pick
For YOUR dog's size: head press (dramatic, any size), lean (medium-large, full body against leg), or chin rest (calm, all sizes). The best match for YOUR dog.
3-Week Plan
Week 1: lure-and-reward (50 reps/day, 5–10 min, 3x/day). Week 2: add cue, fade lure, increase duration. Week 3: proof with arrivals, guests, distractions.
Jumping Replacement
Jumping = turn away (zero engagement). Hug = praise + treat (maximum reward). The contrast teaches: jumping gets nothing, hugging gets everything.
Teaching Steps
For YOUR chosen behavior: where to hold the treat, body position, when to mark (yes/click), when to reward, and the common luring mistakes to avoid.
Troubleshooting
Dog doesn't follow lure (smellier treats, lower the target). Jumps during training (turn away, reset). Does it for you but not guests (guest practice protocol).

How It Works
From '70-lb projectile at every guest' to 'hug. Head press. Guests: YOUR DOG HUGS?!'

AI builds the hug plan
Our trick-training engine selects the best hug for your dog's size, builds the 3-week progression, creates the jumping replacement protocol, and generates step-by-step teaching instructions.
~15 seconds3
Today: 50 reps. Week 2: 'hug' on cue. Week 3: guests say 'YOUR DOG HUGS?!'
Tonight: treat against your thigh, lure the dog's nose to press against your leg. The moment they press: 'yes!' + treat. 10 reps. Tomorrow: 20 reps. By Day 5: the dog presses without the lure. Week 2: add 'hug!' as the cue. Week 3: have a friend ring the doorbell. The dog runs to you and presses instead of jumping on the guest. The greeting is transformed.

Questions
Everything you need to know.
Will the dog stop jumping completely?
In 80%+ of situations: yes. The hug REPLACES jumping because it earns more attention (praise + treat vs being ignored). Some high-arousal moments (coming home after 8 hours) may still trigger jumping initially. Consistency over 3–4 weeks eliminates most.
What if the dog is too excited to focus?
If too aroused to follow the lure: WAIT. Stand still, no eye contact, no talking. The dog will calm in 15–30 seconds. The moment all four paws hit the ground: mark + treat + then lure the hug. The calm-down IS part of the training.
Can I teach all three hug behaviors?
Yes, but start with ONE. Master it over 3 weeks. Then add a second using the same method. Each additional behavior takes 1–2 weeks (the dog already understands the learning game). Eventually: 'hug!' = head press, 'lean!' = body lean.
My small dog puts paws on my shin. Is that OK?
For small dogs (under 20 lbs): two paws on the shin or knee IS the hug. It's controlled, intentional, and doesn't knock anyone over. The same training protocol works — just lure to a lower target. Small-dog jumping is less dangerous but equally trainable.
Will treats be needed forever?
No. Treats are the TEACHING tool for Weeks 1–3. After the behavior is reliable: switch to intermittent treats (sometimes treat, always praise). By Month 2–3: praise alone maintains it. The dog hugs because it WORKS (gets attention), not because it expects food every time.
