Everyone loves to see how excited their dog gets when we return home.
  They are so excited.
  They cry, they pant, and eventually they jump.
  It can be cute for a while, but if your hands are full of groceries, or you have a large dog it can get tiresome pretty fast.
It's that feeling of having no control over your own pet that can really get on your nerves.
  Obviously, there's even the chance of injury depending on who the dog is jumping on.
  Luckily, the reason your dog jumps up on you when you get home is completely your fault and it's completely fixable.
To put it bluntly, you are not the alpha dog in the house.
  You are not the leader.
  At least, your dog doesn't believe you are.
  You have been treating him like a human and not engaging him on his own dog level.
  When the leader of the pack comes back after a separation they don't engage the other members at all.
  They certainly don't make kissy noises and get them all riled up.
When you come home you must ignore your dog entirely, which includes eye contact, until they are done with their routine and have entered a relaxed state.
  If he jumps up, just push him back down.
  It may take some time, but it will be worth it.
  When they have relaxed, then call them over and give them some attention.
Another way to establish your position is to really control the food supply.
  That means put the dish down, and as soon as your dog leaves that dish, take it away until the next day.
  In the wild, the alpha dog controls when everyone eats.
  If you just leave food out all the time you can see how they might make the wrong conclusions.
Love your dog and enjoy your dog, but treat him like a dog.
  In a pack, there has to be a leader and if you don't assume that role your dog will.
  And we know what can happen when they do that!
