It is your dog's way of getting your attention, and the best way her or she knows, is jumping up on you when they see you, and want to greet you, and get some attention from you.
This is almost always cute when your mastiff is a puppy, but when he or she gets bigger, that would be a big dog you have jumping up! You need to teach your puppy not to jump up and get excited when they see you.
Some of the best ways to teach your mastiff not to jump up on people, and you don't want guests and family members avoiding your big giant dog that jumps up on people, now do you!
The best way to curb this, is to not be excited when you see your dog, and don't make eye contact. When your dog goes to jump up on you, turn your body so he or she slides down. Keep doing this, and don't talk to the dog, just use your body language, and keep turning to the side, until your dog finally settles down, and then when he or she is standing calm, give them praise for being calm.
Your mastiff should learn to be calmer, and they will get the praise they desire, much sooner. Make sure you have all the other family members onboard, if one person lets the dog jump up, he or she will be confused, so get the whole family into the training program!
Your puppy more dog will not grasp this right away, but with proper training, and repetitive training, your dog will become a much better family member!
