Dog Tips: Jumping on people

Dog Quote: They have dog food for constipated dogs. If your dog is constipated, why screw up a good thing? Stay indoors and let \’em bloat!

Jumping on People By Alan

No matter how much we might enjoy our pet jumping up to greet us, there are many people who dislike having a strange dog coming up and jumping on them. For many people it can be a frightening
experience as not everyone is a dog lover.

Besides that, many people just don\’t want dirty paw marks over their clothing.

It can also create major problems if a large dog were to jump up on a child or an elderly person.

Dogs will generally jump up on people because they are overly excited and pleased to see them – even if that person is a stranger.

Many people inadvertently encourage this behavior by rewarding the dog with attention after the dog has jumped up on them. The dog then seeks similar reward from other people whether they like it or
not.

This is detrimental to the proper training of the dog and all members of the family must realize that they\’re doing more harm than good by encouraging their dog to jump up on people.

Consistency is important in all forms of dog training, where members of the dog\’s family will need to exercise discipline and accept that training will be all the more difficult if the dog
is allowed to continue with this behavior.

Failure to do so will lead to confusion with the pet not knowing what is right or wrong.

An alternative to having your dog jump up on you and other people is to teach it to sit and lift it\’s paw when greeting you for a handshake or similar tricks where the dog will be rewarded with
attention.

Thanks,

Allan

To the Residents of Gloucester City

Dear Mr. Cleary and Residents of Gloucester City,

I am writing this letter in response to last week\’s letter written by a fellow board member. There were some inaccuracies, which I would like to clarify.

I was appointed to the Gloucester City Board of Health earlier in the year. In response to several complaints I received regarding the Almost Home Animal Shelter in Pennsauken, I went to investigate. Being that this shelter receives an annual stipend from the city of Gloucester City for services as the designated recipient of stray and abused animals. I felt it was my duty, as a member of the Board, to ensure that our tax dollars are being spent effectively.

Unfortunately, my enthusiasm for being involved and helping to improve our city has been misconstrued. I have never claimed to be the spokesperson for the Gloucester City Board of Health. Although the Board did not request that I investigate allegations about the shelter, our mayor and council were fully aware of my intent to personally follow-through on said complaints.

As a young person who is new in politics I want to do the best job that I can as a member of the Board of Health. That includes investigating and looking into issues that the Board of Health can possibly address to help Gloucester City.

The Board of Health meets every 60 days; therefore it is often difficult to address issues in a timely manner. I apologize for being zealous in my investigation of the use of our city\’s tax dollars, and for being overly anxious in my pursuit of solutions to some of our city\’s problems.

Sincerely,

John P. Schmidt, Member
Gloucester City Board of Health
