I know some people really love this idea of coming home to this bundle of hype, but what people see as excitement is really just anxiety. You're so right about this calmer approach! This has been the best thing for my rescue dog who was previously anxiety-ridden.
Thiiiis. I read a book that said that dogs that seem like they're just overly excited never get treated for their chronic anxiety. Really stuck with me. Our girl has extreme social excitement but I also know it's not healthy for her and is a form of anxiety.
Such a good and important advice! My aussie was doing so well at being alone right away when we started practicing after I first got him, then at puppy class they told us to have a command word for when we leave our dog home alone... all of this was of course with the intention that it would keep them calm because they’d know what’s going on and we’ll be back soon. So I tried it. Didn’t take long before my boy started getting anxious whenever I told him “see you soon!” though, so I stopped that pretty quickly and soon enough he wasn’t reacting so strongly anymore when I left. I’m sure a simple goodbye without excitement can work for some dogs, but breeds like aussies that are SO reactive and consantly tuned into what we’re doing and excited to do anything with us at all times, in my experience I def think this is the kindest and calmest approach for their sake. :)
I also have a herding breed. I just leave. Sometimes I am back in 30 seconds taking out the trash. Sometimes I am back in 30 minutes getting groceries. And sometimes I am gone for hours. He does not know the difference. I am in and out of the house often enough that it does not even gets any attention from him anymore. The last thing I would want to do is somehow signal a reason for my dog to be upset. Don't make a big deal out of something you dont want your dog to react strongly to. It aint roccket science.
This is so true. My pup is the cutest and I nearly explode every time I come home, but I don't allow myself to greet her until I've come in, set everything down, washed my hands, and by that time she sits and awaits her attention.
I did this a lot more when my dog was younger. She was a lock down puppy, so I already had to prepare for separation anxiety and behavior issues. She still gets stressed when I leave, eventhough I don't say goodbye. She settles down after a couple minutes and is good about self soothing. She's terrible when people come in the door, but that's on my family always making a big deal of coming home. I still say hello to her, but I don't hype her up, no baby talk or calling for her or letting her jump up. When she realizes I'm home, we just sit on the couch and say hi because we missed each other all day. It's okay that she's a little excited to see me, as long as she's not being too rough, overly excited, or stressed.
Interesting. In Germany pretty much every dog trainer tells you to say hello calmly to the dog. There is quite some research about how it’s good for the level of oxytocin that’s released in both the human and the doggo. There is a difference between saying hello in that crazy way you showed or just calmy saying hi
The force is strong in this one to resist the wigglebutts upon arrival ! One of the best parts of having an aussie ! I will have to do this since Ms Lottie jumps and loses her mind when I come inside...and it's been getting worse...need to nip that. Thanks Joey.
This is amazing! I just found your channel, I'm getting my first mini in November! Very excited, for my 5 year old but really for me. I lost my Boston 5 years ago and I'm finally ready for another pyp. I do still have 2 rescues but they are very old, deaf and blind. We puppy sat my neighbors mini aussie all September and realized, we could do this! It was time. So thank you for your suggestions, training ideas, and install knowledge of this breed!
Thanks Joey. Gonna share with my daughter who has just went back to in office. Her puppy Benji ( Aussiedoodle mix) . I love Frankie. He's so beautiful.
I really want to start doing this but i keep my pup crated when i leave, we have a cat and i dont want anything to happen (although they are usually fine). I just dont know how i would do this with a dog you have to take out of the crate and put a leash on to go outside
I think there's a big difference between acknowledging and hyping them up. I use a quick "bye bud" as a signal that I'm going to be out for a while; it's a cue as opposed to an emotional response. What you demonstrated on the improper greetings *is* exactly what I tell people not to do because it amps them up, but I like having a distinct cue for "going to be gone for a while" so the dog knows what to expect as I leave. Hence a short, nonchalant, "bye/see ya later." Same with greetings! A quick "hey pup" and then going about your regular business before greeting is totally fine! It's when you hype them up with a happy voice and encourage jumping that it becomes a problem. It's much more about your overall emotional state than whether you do or don't greet. If you want in the door, pat your dog gently and acknowledge them, but are calm and quiet, they should be fine. If you're active and energetic, that's a recipe for making dogs jump, scratch, and generally lose control of themselves. I think the "ignore them entirely" advice is, honestly, best for the *people* to break that habit of excitedly greeting/saying farewell. People have a way harder time breaking habits, and "you can greet but you have to be calm and continue doing whatever you would normally do after" is a way more convoluted instruction than simple "don't greet your dog for 5-10 minutes when you get home." One is a clear instruction, the other is very open to interpretation.
I was being more dramatic to emphasize my point. I can’t explain every scenario cause every dog and owner are different. I can do greetings with Frankie and he will show no emotion but I can’t with Indie cause even eye contact gets her wound up. So I was just simply giving general advice for drastic measures
I do the same thing. We make leaving and coming back a non-event. Partner once broke the rule and elaborately said goodbye before work, and it was the only time I have ever heard him whine when someone left the house. And that was just ONCE. Imagine doing that every single day. Makes you wonder how many dogs with seperation anxiety were accidentally conditioned into that behavior.
This is actually something I should try with my Aussie as she freaks out when we leave and come home, it's crying/whining and howling when we leave ... And bit over a week ago I finally got the blue merle pup I always wanted ~ I should use the entry/leave home method u use on her to avoid those issues for later! It may seem cruel to some ppl but it's healthier for the dog I'd say! Plus will help avoid destruction if it's a pup or a young dog! Thank you for the video, always a pleasure watching your vids 😀
lol i would turn and say to my dog hold down the fort when i was ready to walk out the door and your points are great ones the need to say good bye are hello i never did it because it does cause all sorts of excitement for the dog they feed of our energy great post hugs to frankie
Dude, this is so true!!! If I hype my puppy up he begins jumping on me & scratching. If I just walk out without acknowledging him he doesn't whine/bark. It also works when I'm trying to get work done. It is hard, but it definitely helps.
I think this is super important! Out of curiosity though, when do you break the ignoring? For example, you walk in, don’t acknowledge them, go about your business by taking your shoes off, putting your stuff down etc. Once you do that, when do you decide it’s ok to interact with your dog again? And how should you do it? Do you say hi then? Or just sit down and let your dog come to you?
Our two aussies are so different. Mollie you can just pet a bit she doesn't go crazy at all. Kaycee you have to do exactly what you said. Every single time too. Consistency is key with Kaycee.
It's actually a myth to ignore dogs when you get home. Ignoring is seen as weird behavior for dogs. Saying a calm hello is recommended as the dog feels acknowledged, but isn't allowed to get too excited. Ignoring your dog can make them feel confused and upset. Many canine behaviorists and canine consultants (dog experts in psychology and behavior, and training with their masters degree-phD) recommend having a calm hello instead of ignoring your dog. It's been denounced as a big myth! Not saying hello can be more damaging than having an excited hello and risking separation anxiety. Some people may disagree with my comment or find it rude, but I write this with the best intentions to help out other dog owners. I'm pursuing canine training as a career and have done a lot of research on training and nutrition for the past two years. I hope you at least consider my advice!
@@FrankieToTheMoon Wasn't trying to imply you were cruel or awful at all! Thank you for responding. Good to hear that you greet him after. That is a part of saying hello when you get home: some trainers recommend teaching the dog to wait until your done getting your stuff off and bag put down and calm talking to them or something and then greeting them. Or tossing some treats down to calm them down naturally through the smelling and licking first. Take care!
I was with a Golden Retriever for the weekend, he is not mine but the owners were on vacation so I watched the dog. He literally barks at everything. When someone’s at the door, when someone’s walking in, when you put food in his bowl, when you put water in his bowl, when you walk up the stairs, when you walk down the stairs, when you call him to go out, when you put on his leash, so on and so forth. The dog is such an angel tho, but he is (I think) overly excited and stressed. But how do I deal with that because he literally barks at everything and I do not know how to stop it.
Great video with very good points. I am picking up my new mini aussie pup this coming weekend, and a little nervous about it but excited. Watching Frankie encourages me a lot. Any advice ? I work from home and live in an apartment and well aware of the energy level. My mini aussie will be a female, breeder says she is pretty laid back but who know lol. Thank you for the videos.
This breed matches the energy around them, 100%. If you're excited, they're excited. If you're upset, they're upset and trying to lick you and make you feel better.
How often would you leave your house, and for how long? Really want to get one but worried about leaving it alone at home if I have a day in the office for work or go out on a weekend.
Hey Joey i have a question about this topic i think it is great not saying hello and goodbye but my question is when i come home and i ignore my pup when should i be giving him attention again (i have a 3,5 months old australian shepherd)
I know in some video you said what resources you used to train your dog (as in what did you read, watch on youtube etc), but i cant find it. I am having hard time fiding a puppy school in my area that will fit my schedule (i did enroll in one but its not as great as i hoped), so i am looking online for some aditional exercises. What did you do while raising a puppy in the pandemic time?
What do you think about saying "See you later" but in a very calm way? I do this and it helps my dog understand that he is not going out with me and thus he doesn't express any excitement.
Hey Joey! I love your videos. I have a 11 month old Aussie, and I don't greet him either as it does just really wind him up. My question to you is HOW do you get family and friends to respect what you're doing and implement the same things. This is my biggest struggle. I would spend weeks training one thing, like not jumping up or getting excited and then a family member or friend comes in (encouraging jumping even by clapping on their stomach....)and then undoes all I have worked at and says stuff like. "I don't mind him jumping"
Such good tips! Additionally, if your dog does get separation anxiety when you leave, you can give them a stuffed Kong or scatter treats all over the floor while you walk out the door, it can help distract them while you leave!
Kong might help but some dogs are too smart when it comes to food when owner leaves the house, mine won't touch food or treats if she knows we're going out.
@@Lunika1367 then I would guess they are recognizing the patterns of you getting ready to leave, and if you gave them the Kong prior to getting ready, you'd probably have more success
An alpha will do a calm and graceful greeting. But they still greet eachother. So there is nothing wrong with greeting or saying goodbye, as long as it is a calm and short one. I suggest implementing a good bye phrase like ”I will be back shortly” said only once in a very calm matter. And as you train this you do come back shortly of course. But many people forget that you need to do training on leaving them. I use sign language as well as the spoken words for my dogs. So they know exactly what it means when I give them the sign for ”I’ll be back shortly”. All completely silent. And they actually go to lay down and take a rest before I even leave. I think it is much more fair to let them know what is up. Not making a big deal of it, of course. Just an alternative to your method.
Thats very interesting! I leave my 4 month old mini without saying “bye” and he completely is okay with it. Vs my gf leaving him, he starts crying after she leaves
How exactly training your dog makes you the "bad" person? Only if u do it wrong the dog may hate u or dislike u over time, my 2 and half months old Aussie I started train her and she seem extremely happy and loving every moment learning new things and I praise her every time she does it right with treats and positive words, saying nothing negative or show frustration if she doesn't get what I want from her... Training your dog is also bonding time between you and your pup/dog, you connect and trust is gained... Nothing bout it makes you the "bad guy" if you do it RIGHT. Yes sometimes my pup is being too stubborn bout plucking stuff from my desk bottom drawers and she forces me to put her in her training "cage" but that training "cage" also was my older aussie's "home" till she arrived and some of my cats used it as well to sleep there lol training your dog should not make you the 'bad guy' if your dog is becoming more and more well behaving and your relationship becomes even stronger as training the dog usually gets the dog to listen to u more than to rest the family (not always but usually the case) ur not the 'bad guy' for training ur doggo.
@@Lunika1367 sorry it was not clear, I meant in the eyes of another person (because you’re strict) or your dog (because you don’t allow him to do something) not in a actual bad way of course
@@WillyVLD basically to ppl like family n maybe some friends as my mom always feels sorry for our dogs when I train them and put them in the training cage if they were being a lil destruction fl00fer 😐 I get it now 😕 really wish ppl weren't trying f*** up your training coz even if it's in the little things you work hard to get the dog to certain level of discipline then they start f*** up things you worked on achieving with your dog and suddenly you start see it disappears in front of your eyes and not everything is fixable 😡😕
As someone that has done animal communication for over 20 yrs., I beg to differ with you in the kindest way. I teach people how to communicate with their animals through mental pictures. Sounds strange...maybe. I use it a lot in 4H groups with horses, cows, rabbits, goats, dogs and cats and personal consultations for farm animals. Animals are not stupid (as a lot of people think) and they do much better with simple explanations in a calm matter. You never send a negative picture when communicating with them...don't jump on the couch....rather show them a mental picture of them next to the couch, laying or sitting down; simple. I have always told my animals approximately how long I'll be gone. Maybe mine are just used to it. But by not acknowledging them, you are doing them a great injustice. You don't have to make a big deal out of it..leaving and coming back...just 'talk' to them.
I believe we are both saying the same thing in a different way. I am more speaking to people who have a pup that is overly excited and they need a drastic change. Not just a minor adjustment. I “talk” to Frankie all the time and I show that in the videos
I say crate and he goes into his crate and I give him a treat, I cover the crate and play jazz music. When I get home I do what I need to do before I even let him out. I have crate threshold and he's not allowed out until I say OK and I still don't pay attention. P.S. Who are Frankies parents? I have a Follow Me MAS pup too.
Dog has no clue what you are saying. Its just the way that you are saying it and acting that they are reacting to. So saying hello or goodbye is irrelevant.
That’s why I mention that I don’t say anything, I don’t give attention, I don’t look at him. It’s much more than a word and I thought I explained that! Sorry!
Why I never say hello to my dog.. one minute into the video “hello pretty boy” 🤣
😂😂😂
I wish more people would be this focused on training their dogs. Thank you for the great content!
Just little tips I’ve learned along the way! I’m happy they help
How do you even know all these if you are a first time dog owner! I wish I knew on day one

Thats very interesting! I leave my 4 month old mini without saying “bye” and he completely is okay with it. Vs my gf leaving him, he starts crying after she leaves
Could be because he is protecting her while she’s there
@@FrankieToTheMoon I didn’t know mini’s are that protective
Two mice fell into a bucket of cream
Sometimes you have to be the bad person to train them so everybody is happy in the end (you, the dog and other people).
How exactly training your dog makes you the "bad" person? Only if u do it wrong the dog may hate u or dislike u over time, my 2 and half months old Aussie I started train her and she seem extremely happy and loving every moment learning new things and I praise her every time she does it right with treats and positive words, saying nothing negative or show frustration if she doesn't get what I want from her... Training your dog is also bonding time between you and your pup/dog, you connect and trust is gained... Nothing bout it makes you the "bad guy" if you do it RIGHT. Yes sometimes my pup is being too stubborn bout plucking stuff from my desk bottom drawers and she forces me to put her in her training "cage" but that training "cage" also was my older aussie's "home" till she arrived and some of my cats used it as well to sleep there lol training your dog should not make you the 'bad guy' if your dog is becoming more and more well behaving and your relationship becomes even stronger as training the dog usually gets the dog to listen to u more than to rest the family (not always but usually the case) ur not the 'bad guy' for training ur doggo.
@@Lunika1367 sorry it was not clear, I meant in the eyes of another person (because you’re strict) or your dog (because you don’t allow him to do something) not in a actual bad way of course
@@WillyVLD basically to ppl like family n maybe some friends as my mom always feels sorry for our dogs when I train them and put them in the training cage if they were being a lil destruction fl00fer 😐 I get it now 😕 really wish ppl weren't trying f*** up your training coz even if it's in the little things you work hard to get the dog to certain level of discipline then they start f*** up things you worked on achieving with your dog and suddenly you start see it disappears in front of your eyes and not everything is fixable 😡😕
As someone that has done animal communication for over 20 yrs., I beg to differ with you in the kindest way. I teach people how to communicate with their animals through mental pictures. Sounds strange...maybe. I use it a lot in 4H groups with horses, cows, rabbits, goats, dogs and cats and personal consultations for farm animals. Animals are not stupid (as a lot of people think) and they do much better with simple explanations in a calm matter. You never send a negative picture when communicating with them...don't jump on the couch....rather show them a mental picture of them next to the couch, laying or sitting down; simple. I have always told my animals approximately how long I'll be gone. Maybe mine are just used to it. But by not acknowledging them, you are doing them a great injustice. You don't have to make a big deal out of it..leaving and coming back...just 'talk' to them.
I believe we are both saying the same thing in a different way. I am more speaking to people who have a pup that is overly excited and they need a drastic change. Not just a minor adjustment. I “talk” to Frankie all the time and I show that in the videos
what office chair is that? LOL
It is a herman miller
Love dis vid
Its good he doesnt chew your stuffs there like shoes, papers, etc.
I never say hello to my dog.
1:04 hello pretty boy..
-.-
when I come home 😂
I say crate and he goes into his crate and I give him a treat, I cover the crate and play jazz music. When I get home I do what I need to do before I even let him out. I have crate threshold and he's not allowed out until I say OK and I still don't pay attention. P.S. Who are Frankies parents? I have a Follow Me MAS pup too.
Dog has no clue what you are saying. Its just the way that you are saying it and acting that they are reacting to. So saying hello or goodbye is irrelevant.
That’s why I mention that I don’t say anything, I don’t give attention, I don’t look at him. It’s much more than a word and I thought I explained that! Sorry!
@@FrankieToTheMoon you did explain it very well in the video!
First :)
