when my dog, Bowie (a 1 year old weimaraner), is excited, to see me after an absence, he'll jump up on me. how do i stop this behavior. someone suggested i try to step on his hind feet. i don't know if that is wise or not. i have a dog trainer that tells me to correct him if he does anything that is undesirable (with a yank on his check chain). i don't want to punish him for being happy to see me.
one other behavior that is interesting is that he paws at people or other dogs. he does it in a non aggressive way. is this is way of saying "hello" or "i like you".
i've tried saying "no paws" and slapping his paw away, but he still persists.
thanks for any advice in advance.
