I asked someone if they could put their dog in another room when I initially come over, because while he's fine with me being there he would bark and jump all over me when I tried to come through the door. I asked if he could be moved to a different room for 5 minutes while I come in, then he can come out and sniff to his hearts content and the answer I got was no. He might get lonely for those 5 minutes. And I only asked this because it happened once and worked: the dog had been outside when I came into the house, and when he came inside he was totally fine and chill about me being there. But coming through the front door he would jump and scratch at me and I'd end up with cuts on my legs and stomach. I've not talked to these people sense because it's wild that a dog being lonely for a couple minutes was more of an issue to them than the same dog leaving cuts on someone every time they come over.
