Training a dog from a year around people?
My dog knows the basic sit, lay, N or hear is another story. When People come to my house, my dog goes crazy. He just wants the attention of visitors. It is a leap, run around, sit beneath them, and even sometimes barks. He is quite large so this may be a problem, especially with children. How do I get to sit down and behave when I have people in my house? We do not have visitors very often, so you will not have much practice.
My pastor loved to jump on people with emotion, like a puppy until 6 months. Took a lot of patience. But I trained myself out of habit. What I did was, when someone came to the door, put a leash. would greet his visitor, then tow strap, when he gets all excited, sit command. When she complied, gave him a gift. To the visitor left, I held off the entire time. She is excited, I pulled the strap. Only when she was calm, do you allow someone to pet her. So depending on the number of visitors you have, the amount of time it will take to train. Now, the funny thing was that when released to the public, it has been good, just as I had visitors who are excited at the door, going into a frenzy of jumping. Try to train belt, it's amazing the amount of a belt can discipline a dog.
