JUMPING, CHEWING AND MOUTHING
Understand the Behaviour. Build Control. Teach Better Choices.
Jumping, chewing and puppy biting are some of the most common behaviours owners experience — but they are not simply behaviours that need to be stopped.
They are behaviours that need to be understood, managed and trained.
The GPK9 Jumping, Chewing and Mouthing course takes you through five focused lessons designed to help you understand why these behaviours happen, what they mean and how to develop better control through clear communication, appropriate boundaries and consistent training.
Rather than relying on punishment or simply telling your dog what not to do, GPK9 focuses on understanding the reason behind the behaviour and teaching the dog what to do instead.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
1. WHY DOES MY DOG JUMP ON PEOPLE?
Understand why dogs jump when greeting people, including excitement, attention, movement, frustration and learned behaviour.
Learn how to recognise the early signs of rising arousal and how to teach more appropriate greetings through timing, communication, management and reinforcement.
2. WHY DOES MY DOG CHEW EVERYTHING?
Discover why dogs and puppies chew, including exploration, teething, boredom, frustration, stimulation, stress and the natural need to use the mouth.
Learn how to manage the environment, provide appropriate outlets and gradually develop greater freedom and responsibility.
3. WHY DOES MY PUPPY BITE ME?
Take a deeper look at puppy biting, including play, exploration, teething, excitement, tiredness, frustration and over-stimulation.
Learn about bite inhibition, soft-mouth development, redirection, appropriate play, disengagement and recovery — while understanding why puppy biting does not automatically mean aggression.
4. IS PUPPY BITING NORMAL?
Understand the difference between normal developmental puppy mouthing and behaviour that requires greater attention.
Learn how to assess context, body language, intensity, frequency, recovery and the puppy’s ability to disengage.
Normal does not mean acceptable.
The goal is to understand normal puppy development while still teaching appropriate boundaries and behavioural control.
5. WHEN DOES PUPPY BITING STOP?
Learn why there is no single magic age when puppy biting suddenly disappears.
Explore the relationship between development, teething, maturity, bite inhibition, sleep, self-control, training and environmental management.
Learn how to measure genuine progress through:
- softer biting
- reduced frequency
- shorter episodes
- better redirection
- improved disengagement
- faster recovery
- greater self-control
The aim is not simply to wait for the biting to disappear.
The aim is to help the puppy learn how to control its mouth.
THE GPK9 APPROACH
Throughout the course, you will learn to look beyond the behaviour itself.
GPK9 uses:
CATEGORY → STATUS → DRIVE → CONTROL
and:
OBSERVE → INTERPRET → DECIDE → COMMUNICATE → OBSERVE RESPONSE → REASSESS
This helps you understand what is happening before deciding how to respond.
You will learn how control can be developed through:
- timing
- movement
- access
- space
- freedom
- food
- toys
- markers
- appropriate interaction
- environmental management
- calm recovery
The objective is to build understanding and responsibility rather than relying on confrontation.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This course is suitable for owners dealing with:
- dogs that jump up at people
- puppies that constantly mouth
- puppies that bite hands and feet
- puppies that chase clothing
- dogs that chew inappropriate objects
- puppies that become extremely mouthy when tired
- dogs that become over-excited during interaction
- owners unsure whether puppy biting is normal
- owners wondering when puppy biting should reduce
- owners wanting a clearer approach to managing these behaviours
It is particularly useful for owners who want to understand why the behaviour is happening, rather than simply looking for a quick command to stop it.
WHAT YOU WILL TAKE AWAY
By the end of the course, you should have a clearer understanding of:
WHY THE BEHAVIOUR HAPPENS
WHAT YOUR DOG IS COMMUNICATING
WHEN TO INTERVENE
HOW TO REDIRECT
HOW TO DEVELOP BITE CONTROL
HOW TO MANAGE EXCITEMENT
HOW TO SUPPORT RECOVERY
HOW TO INCREASE FREEDOM RESPONSIBLY
HOW TO MEASURE PROGRESS
The course is designed to help you become better at observing your dog’s behaviour and making appropriate decisions rather than reacting after the behaviour has already escalated.

GPK9 — BUILDING BETTER BEHAVIOURAL CONTROL
Jumping, chewing and mouthing are not isolated problems.
They are opportunities to teach your dog:
CONTROL
COMMUNICATION
DISENGAGEMENT
APPROPRIATE CHOICES
RECOVERY
The more your dog learns to control its behaviour, the more responsibly you can increase its freedom.
MORE FREEDOM REQUIRES MORE BEHAVIOURAL RESPONSIBILITY.
