Greeting by Barking

We love coming home and see our dog greets us excitedly by jumping and barking. We feel this proves our dog's love for the family. But in a natural setting, dogs don't bark, yelp, or jump on pack mates in a burst of affection. Dogs that greet their owners in this way are trying to communicate. But rather than professing undying love, they are probably trying to tell you that they are lonely and bored; their needs as a dog are not being met. The excitement is your dog's way of burning off the excess energy that has been building throughout the day. Don't be disappointed by this revelation. Dogs simply don't use emotions like people do. Remember, dogs are animals. To love a dog means you must treat him like an animal, as Nature intended it to be treated.
