Redbone Coonhound 'Demanding' Love From Every Guest Is the Man of the House

Bringing a new person around your dog is much more nerve-wracking than bringing home a new puppy. Everyone is going to love a cute dog, but your dog very well might not like a new human. If your dog doesn't like somebody... it's over.

Luckily for one dog mom, her Redbone Coonhound loves everyone, just as long as they love him back. He's made it clear that, if you're not willing to love him as soon as you walk in, you're not welcome in his house:

Jeter the Sweet Redbone deserves all the love. What a small fee to be able to hang out with him whenever!

Jeter is just a baby; he was born late last year. Even though he's under a year old, he's already made a big splash in everyone's lives. Of course, the people who know and love him in real life have become accustomed to needing to make sure he's the center of attention.

Those of us who are not fortunate enough to be in Jeter's circle are lucky enough to love him from afar. He's gone viral a few times, including once at the beach, where he had a lot to say about the water touching his paws. It was on that day that his mom and 5.6 million people on TikTok learned that Coonhounds and water don't mix well...

How to Keep Dogs Safe for Guests

Let's take a look at Jeter here: he's being extra, sure, but he's also being respectful. He's on his chair, barking, but he's not jumping or trying to bite. This is a prime example of good training, and a safe way for your pups to greet your guests.

As soon as you get your dog, you should figure out the best way for them to greet guests (or even just greet you when you get home). You don't want them to feel like it's okay to be jumping and nipping at anybody, so starting from a neutral position like a chair or their bed is ideal. There are a few things to keep in mind:

1. If your dog is reactive, you might want to avoid bringing guests around too often.
2. Some people don't like dogs, period. Before you bring them home, make sure they know you have one and that they will want pets.
3. Keeping dogs in a crate when you're gone will make it easier to introduce them to guests when you get back.
4. Dogs have good days and bad days, and it's important to just be consistent with training.

You should lead the way when you get home: let the dog see you before the guest so you can set expectations. Keeping their nails trimmed is also great for avoiding scratches. Not every dog is quite as willing to be nice like Jeter is!
