up up and away
Emotional “Hello’s and Goodbye’s” are when you greet your dog or say goodbye to your dog in an excited way.
If you have a new puppy, a dog that jumps on guests, doesn’t listen to you, has behavioral issues, and you believe you’re a true dog person- putting your dogs needs- ahead of your own, you may want to…

Hello,
Thanks for the comment and I appreciate your need for part 2. Right now I am working on other blogs and will get to that one in the future. Although part 2 or 3 may be informative, they may not answer or solve your specific situation. What I can offer you is a Skype lesson? That way I can answer specific questions, and give you specific solutions that are catered to your specific situation. Let me know if you are interested, Regards, Robert
Excellent article! Look forward to part 2!

when i say that to my dog she wags her tail and jump at me right away.
Most people have trained their dog that “Hi” means to jump up. I like my dog jumping up (when signaled) but never during arrivals and departures.
Thanks for the comment
Hi Ryan, Appreciate the kind words. I like you are trying to educate owners about better health and better relationship potential with our pets.
Hi: We ignore our wheaten before we leave and when we return. Unfortunately he absolutely know when we are leaving and hides.
Hi Barbara,
There’s nothing wrong with that, or is there? You can counter condition him by making many mock departures, slowly increasing the amount of time you’re actually out of the house. This will desensitize him of any visual or audible cues that normally lead to your departure.
Cheers
Hi Robert. Always enjoyed working with you and learning from you. I have a pack of 6 dogs so they aren’t alone. I use to think they were happy to see me and that’s why they wanted kisses when I came home. Then I realized they were really just checking my breath to see what I was eating. Most trips away from the house seems to involve something for them. Food, Toys, new leash or collar, etc. They think we are the greatest “hunters” . I always pick up new info from your articles.
Hi Jean. Thanks! Yes, training animal actors was fun huh? great experience! It looks like you have an amazing place for the dogs in PA. It would be great to just watch them all day, but you have a responsibility to care for them too. I know it’s very rewarding work, the dogs look like they’re having fun also! Keep it up.
Thanks for visiting, my site, I have many projects in the works- it’s just finding the time…stay tuned
All the best. and thanks for the link ;O)
We have 3 dogs now and will be adding another puppy soon. My concern today is the emotional hello. When my husband comes home from work, all 3 dogs rush to the front door, bark and jump on him and generally cause quite a ruckus, then he parades this barking pack all the way through the house to the back door where they follow him out into the fenced in back yard. I want it to stop, but how do we change this behavior now that it has been going on for years?
Hi Kelly,
First, I wouldn’t add another dog until you get these ones under some control. Second, It sounds more like you need a husband trainer (just kidding). and third; I wish I did, but I don’t have the time to answer the question to solve your problem, I suggest to call your local -dog friendly- trainer for more information.
