Print Post - Turning Overexcited Greetings into Calm Hellos

About this post

Post Description:

Does your dog leap up to greet you—or your guests—the second you walk through the door? While it may seem like a sweet (or sometimes overwhelming) sign of affection, constant jumping is one of the most common behavior issues dog owners face.

So why does your pup do it? Often, jumping is a sign of:

Excitement when meeting new people
Attention-seeking behavior
Anxiety or nervous energy

While the intention isn’t bad, the behavior can quickly become frustrating or even unsafe—especially for children, elderly guests, or anyone caught off guard.

At Always Faithful Dog Training, we understand that dogs don’t misbehave to be “bad.” They’re communicating in the only way they know how. That’s why our Behavior Modification program focuses on transforming unwanted habits—like jumping—into calm, confident responses.

Using instinctive, proven training methods, we help your dog:

Greet politely without overwhelming guests
Build impulse control and confidence
Learn alternative behaviors that earn them positive attention

???? The result? A dog that’s not only well-behaved but also happier and more relaxed in social settings.

If your dog’s jumping is becoming too much, don’t worry—you’re not alone. With the right guidance, you can redirect that energy into positive habits that make life easier for both you and your pup.
