For example, if you want to correctly change your dog's habit of jumping on guests, you don't have to hurt it. First, you have to find something your dog really doesn't like - like a water gun or a spray can filled with water. Then, try to make the puppy associate the water gun with the signal "Don't do this again" (you can use the password "No"). 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 before doing it.

For example: a puppy jumps on people--

1. The puppy starts to jump

2. Say [No] to it

3. Spray water on the puppy

4. Ignore it for the time being (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; if it sits down obediently, give it a reward. It should be noted that although the general training rule is to reward the puppy when it does something right; in fact, if the dog accidentally associates this reward with the wrong behavior pattern, it will cause problems. For example: the puppy jumps on the mother, the mother yells "No" and sprays water on the puppy. The puppy sits down obediently, and the mother rewards it. In this way, the dog may mistakenly believe that as long as it can endure the feeling of being sprayed, it will be rewarded by its owner. A better approach is to wait until the bad behavior is completely corrected before giving rewards to strengthen the impression.
