I think it's pretty common with dogs here, I've read that many other dogs do this, and trainers just say to ignore them the first few minutes after you get home, but I found this impossible to do, so it's just a short greeting at first. I asked the vet about it, and he wasn’t concerned. I’m kind of surprised, you hadn’t heard of this before. I think it's more common with dogs who are rarely left alone. |
Whew! Good to hear it's just that. It does seem to be common on Yorkies when they get so excited. I'd heard a lot about that before, just didn't know that's what your little guy had when you said "breathing problems". I had missed reading about that with your little guy before and didn't know if it was that or from CHF or something else causing breathing problems.
