4. They lean against you as soon as you get through the door
Oh yeah, the lean. Dogs may lean against their people to get attention or seek comfort. Whatever their reason, the lean shows that they like to be close to you. A dog that comes in for the lean after you get home is saying, “I’m so glad you’re back.”
3. They follow you around the house
Does your dog turn into your shadow after you get home from work? Now that you’re home, they don’t want to let you out of their sight.

1. They’re super-excited when you get home
Does your dog get a major case of the zoomies when you walk through the door? They’re so happy to see you, it comes out in a burst of energy. Time for a post-separation play sesh!
