Many dogs have a propensity to jump on people at least some of the time. How often this happens revolves around your dog’s breed and his or her individual makeup. One noteworthy argument surmises that dogs jump because they are trying to get close to someone’s face; they do this not to attack that person, but to facilitate interaction. Dogs do this with each other as well, only in that case, their faces are close to each other (especially if they’re of comparable breeds or sizes). Dogs use both sight and smell to explore.
