Advice: Understanding Dog Behavior
#4
The Chocolate dog is the Alpha Male, the white one is the submissive. By jumping on you and trying to get to your height or gain height over you, the dogs are trying to dominate you in a way, in another respect they are welcoming you to their 'pack'.

Dogs are creatures of habit, and your habit of running past them has become their habit, in essence you have become part of their routine. Dogs also need discipline for their own good, so I would suggest you give them a low growl as you push them away when they try to jump on you. So basically, you need to place yourself in the role of Alpha male now that they have welcomed you into their pack. ;-)

If you are interested in reading, a great book by Bruce Fogle called 'The Dogs Mind', a brilliant read to help you understand more about dogs that can also be used with other animals as well.
