How To Stop Your Dog from Jumping
Keep the dog upright. This is the real trick in training your dog not to jump: holding both of her paws in each hand, keep her upright for several minutes until she becomes uncomfortable.

Find the best spot in the house or yard to apply the treatment. It should be a spot where your pet is most comfortable and least likely to escape. Many pets gravitate toward a corner when they know medicine is imminent, which often works out best.
Part your pet’s hair between the shoulder blades with either the applicator tip or your fingers until the skin is visible. Expose enough skin to help ensure most of the treatment goes in the skin and not the coat. It may help to have two people; one to part the hair and the other to apply the medicine.
Squeeze entire contents onto the exposed skin with the applicator. If the liquid starts to run or you have a bigger dog, it’s a good idea to apply to a few spots along the back (where he can’t reach).
Wash your hands with soap and water and dispose of the empty packet in the trash.
Reapply about every 28 days, which is usually in time to keep your pet from scratching again.
