How to Train Your Dog to Greet You

Hi, this is Ronnie William with Expert Village. I'm going to teach you how to properly train your dog. When I get home from work or from being out and about, when I walk in the front door, I do not look at my dogs. I talk to them, and I don't touch them. First thing you do when you get home, usually your dogs will be super excited. They'll be really happy to see you, and they're wagging their tails and licking you. The worst thing you could possibly do is pet them at night. If you pet them, that means you want them to be more excited so every time you come home, they're going to be more excited and more excited until they're out of control. They won't obey you. So I get home and walk through. I let them sniff me. I walk ahead of them. I ignore them. I put my keys down. I do a couple little things, give them two or three minutes until the dogs are as we've seen them lately...more calm and relaxed. When they're in that state, then I will come over to them, and then I will pet them. They don't get any affection from me if they are doing anything wrong. They get no affection, and they never should from anyone, not even from your friends who come over unless they are in this state of mind. Affection to a dog means "please do more of this." So if he's attacking a dog and you pull him back and say "no, no, no," then you pet him, it means attack more dogs. That's exactly how they understand it. It might seem a little mean to not pet your dogs as soon as you get home, but I assure you they will thank you for it later. You will have much more obedient and healthy dogs.
