Dogs love to make new friends every day. Just like we shake hands or cuddle, dogs do it by sniffing each other. The peaceful licking of the lips is considered a sign of welcome and a joyful gesture among one another. Dogs make no difference whether it is a human or another dog.

In contrast to other conspecifics, the face of humans – except for children – is too high to be able to reach it directly. Because of this, dogs jump up on people and want to reach his face. With this gesture, your four-legged friend wants to show you that he has missed you very much and is incredibly happy to see you again. Is this behavior too intrusive for you? Then get your dog used to jumping. Explosion of joy too much for you? Do not worry. A dog from jumping.
