Sure! Here are six different ways you can teach your pet to stop jumping on guests:

[GerardoBrennan]

**Teach a "Sit" Command**: Whenever guests arrive, have your pet sit before they can greet anyone. Reward them with treats for staying calm. Consistency is key!

**Use a Leash**: Keep your pet on a leash when guests come over. This gives you control and helps you redirect them if they start to jump.

**Ignore the Jumping**: When your pet jumps, turn your back and ignore them. Once they settle down, give them attention. They’ll learn that jumping doesn’t get them what they want.

**Practice Greetings**: Have friends help you practice. They can come over, and you can work on having your pet stay calm while they say hi, rewarding them for good behavior.

**Provide a Distraction**: Before guests arrive, give your pet a toy or a treat to keep them occupied. This can help keep their focus away from jumping.
