Dogs jump mostly for positive reasons, whether they are happy, excited, or enthusiastic about something. Isn't it touching and comforting when you get home from a long day of work and your dog is there jumping to give you a big smooch and a hug?
Jumping is one of their natural behaviors. This gesture of jumping is partly out of love that he is greeting you like this, it can also be a sign that he wants something like food or water. You can also imagine the excitement he feels after waiting for you, sitting patiently at home all day.
You can also easily train your dog to greet you with paws on the ground if you don't prefer jumping and running. You can start by turning your back when he jumps at you and only pet your dog when all four paws are on the floor.
