Expert Tips: Manage Dogs' Excitement at the Front Door
Juliana DeWillems, a renowned dog trainer, shares expert tips to manage dogs' excitement at the front door. The owner and head trainer at JW Dog Training offers practical advice for a calm and controlled entry, perfect for Black Friday shoppers expecting deliveries or visitors.
Patience and consistency are crucial when training dogs to stay calm at the door. Juliana recommends starting with minimal distractions. Begin by opening the door without speaking, then gradually increase the difficulty. Introduce a family member, then a visitor not entering the home. Speak quietly at first, then more animatedly as the dog becomes comfortable.
Use a doorbell or knock to trigger your dog's response during training. Gradually increase the challenge with a worker or delivery person, then a guest entering the home. Juliana warns against too many distractions too soon, which can hinder training. For more advice, see our guide on how to stop a dog from jumping up.
