My lab gets so excited when I come home that he latches on with his teeth to my skin or clothes. I finally got him to stop jumping up...but I can't seem to curb this particular behavior.
He stays in a crate when I'm gone for more than an hour, and has free run when I'm out for a short amount of time (we just started this...he's doing well.) Both ways...he does the same thing. I've tried getting a toy into his mouth first, leaving him in his crate till he settles down, "No bite."
None of this has been working. Once he gets my sleeve or whatever in his mouth, he will not let go, although he knows the command "drop." I have to pry his mouth open to get me or my clothes out. It is like he is just too excited to know what to do with himself. He gets plenty of exercise daily, and I'm always very calm when I come inside.
I am seriously at a loss. Suggestions would be appreciated
