How to Train Your Dog to Greet Visitors in 5 Easy Steps

Every time I’m expecting visitors, the scene is the same: I try to time it just right and get my dogs outside before my guests arrive.

There has to be a better way, right?

Well, I found it, and today I’m going to share it with you!

Check it out and give them a try with your pup!

1- DESENSITIZE TO KNOCKING OR THE DOORBELL.

Try these steps for desensitizing your dog to the doorbell:

Put your dog on the leash, and ask a friend or family member to go outside and ring the doorbell or knock.
Hold the leash tightly and say “no bark” as your dog starts barking after hearing the bell. Once your dog calms down, have him sit, and give him a treat and praise.
Keep up this routine until he’s mastered not pulling on the leash and barking (don’t expect success in one training session – this will take some time!).
Next, teach the same behavior with the same process when he’s off the leash.

2- TEACH HIM HOW AND WHERE TO SIT.

Now that your dog isn’t going nuts when the doorbell rings, teach him how and where he should sit when a guest comes in the door.

3. PREACTICE TO PLAY WITH OTHERS.

Start with just one person!

Ask a friend who loves dogs (and doesn’t mind jumpers) to come help you. Prepare him or her to ignore your dog just as you did in the previous step until he’s sitting nicely.

Then, have your friend give treats and praise. Stay with your dog and require him to stay in his sitting spot while your friend goes in the other room.

Dismiss your dog to go visit with your friend a moment, then continue with your visit; your dog shouldn’t be made the center of attention.

4-SLOWLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF GUESTS.

It can be overwhelming for your dog to have a lot of people come to the house, but she needs to learn.

5-BE PATIENT.

Remember, you’re dog is learning something new, and so are you! Success may take some time, but don’t give up!

More importantly, don’t get angry at your dog or punish him. You don’t want him to feel like you’re not happy to see him.

How To Prepare Your Dog For A first training session

How To Prepare Your Dog For A Training Session First and foremost, be sure to exercise your dog before a training session. The younger the pup, the more physical activity they will need to focus. However, you don’t want to wear them out completely, so opt for a brisk walk over a vigorous run. Keep training sessions short to avoid boredom and frustration. Five to ten minutes is best for dogs that are new to training. Be patient with your dog. Learning new things takes time and lots of practice. Schedule training two to three hours before mealtimes to prevent hunger-related distractions. Use tiny pieces of high-reward treats. Your dog doesn’t care about treat size as long as they taste good, and there are lots of them.
