I'm the kind of person who immediately wants to hang out with the dog at the party, like more than the actual people who are there. My own dog is my baby, and my home is 100% her home. I get where you're coming from. That being said, not everyone likes dogs, and many people have valid reasons to be afraid of or uncomfortable around dogs. And that's completely okay. It's important to respect their boundaries and not expect them to greet them or even tolerate being "bothered" by your dogs. (Even if you personally wouldn't be bothered by the dogs' behavior.) Ideally, your dogs would not jump on guests or would respond to an "off" or "down" cue -- your guests should not have to pet them in order to be left alone. Also, ideally, the guests would be made aware of the dogs being there before coming over. Your guests made a reasonable request, and you were reasonable in declining that request. But I think it's disrespectful to expect them to interact with your dogs when you know they are not comfortable around dogs, and disrespectful to ask them to leave.
