Door greetings can be tough.⁠
⁠
Our dogs are naturally excited when people come through the door. People bring attention, new smells, and sometimes a few food crumbs in their beard.⁠
⁠
We so often focus on what we DON'T want our dogs to do, when we should actually be teaching them what we DO want them to do!⁠
⁠
Start by asking yourself, in a perfect world, what would your dog be doing when guests arrive? Would they be laying in their bed? Maybe sitting next to you, a short distance from the door? Perhaps just calmly greeting your guests without jumping up on them?⁠
⁠
Once you have decided what you want your dog to be doing, we can create a training plan to work towards that goal!⁠
