No dogs do not get jealous the way we see it in my opinion. In my opinion it's more of a dominant I own you attitude then jealousy.

Example, hubby hugs wife, dog wiggles in-between, Jealous? nope but a subtle hey she is mine!

Your petting one dog when the other comes up and pushes their way in, Jealous? No, again the dog in a subtle way is saying you belong to him and the other dog needs to move on.
problem is with Dominant dogs the subtle hints can get more pushy later.

I tell the dog doing it to knock it off, back up a bit, and their turn is coming....;)

OK OK sometimes I'm a little weak and give in, nobody's perfect.......:o
