Golden Retrievers' Excitement to 'Chat Up' Dad After He Gets Home Is Everything
There is no one more important in the world to your dog than you. You are the brightest part of their day. Just look at the way that two chatty Golden Retrievers greeted their owner the second he walked through the door in a new viral video.
If you've ever wondered if your dog missed you while you were gone, this video is proof that our pets are thinking about us all day long.
The two Goldens, Sterling and Colin, were patiently waiting by the door to see who was at their front door. It was dad! The Golden Retrievers were so excited. They immediately started whining and wagging their tails — they missed him so much.
Hilariously, both dogs grabbed a shoe and kept on whining. It was like they were filling the man in on all of the things that he'd missed while he was gone.
"I was so sad. But I'm glad you're back," the onscreen caption reads, as if speaking for one of the pups.
"When your Dad was away and you have so much to tell him," the caption states.
People in the comments section all agreed — Sterling and Colin were so adorable. "I love when they have an offering every time they get excited," joked one person. "The best feeling in the world right there," someone else commented. "Awww Goldens are the best," another commenter praised. "I want a canine to greet me like that! Lol, how adorable," one person gushed.
Keeping Your Dogs Calm When They Greet You
Sterling and Colin are good boys, so things didn't get too rowdy when their dad walked through the door. But for many pet owners, the front door of their house presents a huge challenge. Dogs can get too excited when someone's at the door, which can turn into jumping, barking, panting, pacing, zoomies, urinating, and pulling on their leash if they're on one.
If you want to cut the behavior, it's best to ignore it when you first walk in the door. You might be tempted to tell them no or command your dog to sit. But that doesn't exactly work because they are hoping to get attention. By ignoring the behavior, you're teaching them that there's no benefit to getting wound up.
Once your dog has calmed down, reward them for being good. You want to teach them that there's no reason to go overboard. It might take some time, but in the end training your dog to greet you correctly is so worth it.
