We had the same problem with our dog going bananas & shrieking & jumping when we returned home. An animal behaviourist gave us similar advice to what Boingercat has said. We were to completely ignore our dog for 15 minutes BEFORE we left the house and 15 minutes AFTER we returned. When she jumped up & shrieked we had to turn our backs & have no eye contact with her. Then later when she was calm & at a distance, we had to give the commands Come & Sit. Then she would get a pat & praise. After doing this consistently for some time, the problem was solved.
Be prepared when you first start doing this, that the dog MIGHT get more frantic & demanding. When you're trying to extinguish a behaviour like this, it sometimes gets worse for a while as the dog fights against the NO reinforcement...it wants SOME response from you. If this happens, just hang in there with the ignoring until the dog has calmed down & is no longer demanding...then command, pat & praise. As Boingercat said, too, it will work.
