Fixing Problem Behaviors: Jumping Upon Greeting

Why do dogs tend to jump up on people during greetings? 

I get why people don't like it. But do you get why dogs do it? 

Before you try to fix a problem, it is best to understand why it happens. Otherwise your fix either won't work or you'll create a new problem.

I'll let you ponder on this one (I don't reward the dog trainers reading this for not putting in any effort and instead doing some research on their own). Hint: it isn't all learned.

There are plenty of suggested solutions, especially on the internet. Many will backfire. 

Plan accordingly.
