How does your dog welcome you?

We don't allow any dog to jump up,so ours all go around in circles and wag their tails. When you have large dogs jumping up can injure people and no one likes even a small dog to jump up on them.

Aw, Rex is adorable inu, and I would love to know how your parents taught him to do that..Because my puppies greet us with a "In your face" jumping,licking,spinning around you kind of greeting..The first thing I do before they even get near me is say, "Off,off,off" Like it does any good...

When we are away from home our dog is usually lying in front of the door waiting for us. When we open the door he is always ready to welcome us He usually gets so excited that he doesn't know what to do. He runs around in circles, jumps on us (we are trying to teach him to stop that) and tries to find some toys that he can show us. If we give him some treats or some new toys while we are away, he usually ignores them at first, but when we get back home, he eats the treats, plays with the new toys etc.

When we come home our dog is also soo excited to see us that she just want to be as close to us as possible. I never alow her to jump on mee and she knows that so she does give me my space to come in, take off my shoes and coat, put down my bag and other things I have in my hands. Only then she can come to me and gets attention. With My boyfriend however it's totally different. When he comes in, she goes crazy, she jumps on him and really demands attention immediatly. When other people enter she's more affraid, we found her as a little pup on the street and so everytime she meets other people she wants to go to them and play with them but the moment they move or try to pet her, she's gone. So she has different greeting pattorns for different people.

My dog used to run towards me and give me the 10 minutes of wet 'hello':)

This thread makes me want a dog. My neighbour has a dog called Sparky and he always runs up to me and starts licking me lol not sure if that's his way of saying hello. Dogs can be better than humans sometimes. Sorry for your loss, that's probably the hardest part of having a pet - the time when they pass away. I will get a dog when I own my own home.

My dog sniffs me to see were I've been. Then she goes outside to pee and come back and waits for attention. I would never allow any dog to jump on me. It is disrespectful. I am the human. I am the pack leader. She needs to respect that. A lower ranking dog never jumps on the pack leader. My dog is very well trained and rarely does anything wrong. I trained her with love and compassion using positive reinforcement.

woof! woof! woof! ... That's voice my dog's while welcoming me to go home

My dog, he will welcome me by jumping on the legs, then running and hopping around. Sometimes, when he is in the mood, he will start sprinting to and fro. Only when I go into the toilet will he then calm down.

Our dog Elliot e whenever he sees us coming he always wag he's tails run over as if he wants to hug us and kiss us with joy. He feels wonderful whenever we come home. That welcome is overwhelming it feels great.

My Dog (Jumbo - 1 year old chit szu) barks out loud (sound of excitement). When I wave my hand he will stop barking and will run and sit in front me. When he saw unusual person inside the house he will sit beside the door and will bark and wont stop unless we say "stop". Jumbo will site beside the main door and will wait until the visitor go out. ;)

Hi inu1711, when i saw that photo of Rex, it brought back memories of my late dog Cutie. She would greet people the same way. When they entered the home she would stand on her hind legs and raise her front paws and move them up and down rapidly. I never taught her to do it but she did it. I think that like Rex, Cutie was simply a special dog.

Pawpaw and Irish would bark and waggle there tail...

my dog is like dino from the flinstones...he comes running towards me on full speed that I really have to move aside and then he just starts chasing me...it's fun to play with him :)

I have three Chihuahuas. They are my little darlings, and they are spoiled rotten. They live better than some people I know, and I am thankful that I can give them this lifestyle. When I come home from work in the afternoons, they run to the door wagging their tails and running in circles, but they won't usually try to jump up on me until I bend down to play with them. When I sit down on the couch, the all gather around me and take turns getting treats and giving kisses and getting their bellies rubbed...

Normally my sweet pet welcomes me by jumping with both front legs up abd kissing my hands.

My dog usually gets too excited when I arrive at home. He often gets too excited that he forget to jump on you, rather he prefer running all around the yard for a period of time, maybe 2 minutes running non-stop, then finally he comes to jump on you. He is the most excited dog I ever have... I never let my dog enter in the house but when he does all this, he look so innocent that I let him enter for a little while playing in

My dog is pretty small, so he always tries to jump up and down, not on the people so much, but right in front of them. I am trying to teach him to stop it though....

my dog runs up to me standing up on her back feet making sounds of excitement likes she wants me to lift her up,and when i dodo that she wants to lick my face of my head lol

My dog, actually, welcomes me almost the same way as yours does. I really like him. But, infront of different people(strangers) you know that his greeting is obviously going to be different. My dogs' greeting was sort of like a growl on the stranger. Although my dog wouldn't do anything to him but he wouldn't stop growling on him until I say its okay haha. Gotta train him a little harder maybe.
