If you find the training that you've been doing with Fido is effective so far, stick with it. There will always be opinions, but it's really up to you. Your dog is your pooch, and it's also up to you to set ground rules the moment guests step inside your home. If he can't have people food, then make that clear and if he can't sit on the furniture don't make an exception. It may seem harsh, but it will help you prevent him from misbehaving around more guests in the future. Learn more great tips on Cesar’s Way.
I hate to say it, but friends can also ruin all the training you do with your pup.
Speak up
Visitors can create problems without realizing it. Even friends who are “dog people” can create problems, so be aware.Do yourself and your pup a favor. Tell them – nicely – that you are working on his manners and obedience, and if they don’t listen, put the pup in his crate or on a leash where he won’t learn to be naughty.
Be in control
Another scenario is the complete opposite. Your guests may not like dogs and could even be afraid of them. They prefer not to be greeted by your dog. By showing this nervousness they can create unwanted behaviors.
Naturally, we are proud of our new family member and want to show off a little. Socialization with new people is good for the puppy.Play safe
Play safe with your pup when guests come around. Maintain control and help him to learn patience and remain calm. A leash and a crate are great tools to use. No look, no touch, no talk when they first come into your home. Otherwise he will be rewarded for his excitement, jumping, and generally rude greetings.When he has learned the art of greeting guests, ensure these habits are maintained otherwise your dog may regress and once more learn he can disobey when guests are present. A dog that greets welcome guests nicely and is a delight around the home when guests are present is a dog you will be proud of and your guests will admire.
