Dogs often misbehave when you have guests because they get excited or nervous - and while it might be a bit stressful for you, you shouldn't be mad.
Most pets can't control it, because they feel just too excited when someone new is around.
Here's why dogs do it.
Excitement
When guests come over, dogs can get really excited. They may bark, jump, or run around because they're happy to see new people.
Protectiveness
Dogs are also protective of their homes and families. When strangers come in, they might bark or act tough to make sure everyone is safe.
Attention
Dogs love attention, and when guests are around, they might do things to get noticed, like stealing food or playing too energetically.
Nervousness
Some dogs get a little nervous when new people are in their territory. To cope with this anxiety, they might misbehave or hide.
Conclusion
So, it's not that your dog is being bad on purpose. They're just reacting to the excitement and change in their environment when guests are over.
Training and patience can help them learn how to behave better around visitors.
