I never really thought about how to meet a dog until we rescued a mastiff mix. She is HUGE and you wouldn’t believe the number of people who want to get in her face (yes, she is very cute and looks non-threatening – kind of like a huge teddy bear), but I know she could do a lot of damage if prompted.

While we need to teach our dogs how to meet people, it sure would be nice if it could get out there that there is a proper way to meet dogs.

Haha, yeah I definitely agree! There are very few people that can stop giving a dog eye-contact. Even when I try to talk to them to redirect their attention, they will likely still be looking at the dog. I am just the side act. 😀
Also, the more excited a dog is, the more likely he will get attention, which makes him more excited, and on it goes.
Most dog issues are actually people issues which are much more difficult to solve. 🙂

Teaching my dog Maya not to jump on me using the methods you described above was easy. Teaching her not to jump on other people was not so easy. She is getting better, though.

She would carry baby rabbits in her mouth, freeze when the ferrets were running around her feet so as not to step on them, and walk around with the pet milk snake wrapped around her.

LOL! Great Danes are awesome. All the ones I have met are so goofy and playful.
One time at the dog park this Great Dane was playing with a Pug. He was being so super extra careful with the little dog. It was adorable.

Good stuff for anyone to know who is sociable and goes to visit other people (hopefully all of us). People know that dogs are not people, but dogs don’t know that people are not dogs. People, having such knowledge, have the responsibility to act accordingly.
Had to vote “dog is calm”. She wanted to be excited and jump, but I would command that she sit and stay until she calms down. A jumping Great Dane means bouncing off the ceiling – not acceptable. Don’t have a dog now, but since you asked for a vote, this was my experience.
