As long as she doesn't jump on your company, then showing excitement is pretty normal.  We never want to break the spirit of our dogs, and there is a balance between letting them do everything they want to do and having well-behaved dogs who are under control.  When company comes, you might want to have Mollie on leash until all the greetings are over and people are seated or whatever.  Then let her be a dog, meaning allow her to be petted and all, and then have her come and lie down by you.  Eventually she will probably just do that naturally as you consistently have her do that.    Peace,    Debby
