Tamar Geller: Hi, hello, how are you, alright -- well how are you -- okay, she is jumping on me, I am turning back.
Speaker: Okay.
Tamar Geller: Hi! I still want to teach not to jump on me, get over here, she is too excited. Hi, how are you, how are you little one, jumping, I am turning back, sit, that's good sit, she is walking away that's okay, what I want to teach her, when people coming to the door, maybe she jumps on then, then immediately turn the back to her, it's going to be nothing then.
Ultimately, they are not the people who are going to give it a reward. She is jumping I am turning back, sit, I am acknowledging her with looking at her, happy tone of voice and a treat, sit, when she is sitting, so what am I teaching her, you are going to jump on me, you are going to lose me, you are going to sit, you are going to get me close, I don't believe in the knees, I don't believe in pushing, I don't believe in stepping on the back legs, none of that.
So right now, I am treating it as if I am you, as if she is jumping on you, when you are going to have real guest, you can't expect them to know, what to do.
Speaker: To know what's going on, yes.
Tamar Geller: So what you are going to do, you are going have a little tap here; sit, right by the door and when they come into the house, then ring the bell and knock on the door, you are going to have a treat in you hand as soon as they come in, if they jump, if she jump, all you are going to ask the guest is to turn the back.
You are going to focus on her to tell her to sit, I will take couple of turns, what's going to happen, she is going to look at you, sit and she is completely going to ignore the guest and you sit into the danger zone. When they first arrive.
So if can eliminate the danger zone of that behavior, you are not going to have these issues, not generally, sit, anytime you want to stop an unwanted behavior, 90% of the time you can irradiate, you can get rid of that behavior by ignoring it. By walking away, not dealing with her I don't want, but ignoring, not talking, not looking, not touching, nothing.
