13.4 Step 2: Keep the Dog in a

Down-Stay Receiving Frequent

Treats Until He Calms Down

As soon as Fido lies down on his rug,

dispense treats using the remote every 2-3

seconds. Continue at this rate if he looks

like he wants to get up or if he barks. You

may need to give treats even faster to

prevent barking. Again, if Fido gets off his

rug to run to the door, block him as you

learned in Say "Please" by Sitting on the

DVD. If he has the choice between sitting

and waiting or going back to the rug where

he could also get treats, he’ll go to the

rug to get treats. When you block him, you

shouldn’t have to tell him to “place.” He

should make the choice on his own.

If Fido does not look relaxed after a

minute, then have your guests leave and

return a few minutes later and repeat

the door procedure. You may have the

visitor only press the doorbell so that the

visit isn’t as exciting. Continue practicing

these one-minute or longer repetitions

with guests remaining outside until your

dog relaxes. This can take as little as one

repetition, or it may take multiple guest

visits over a number of days. Since the

repetitions are short, each visitor can make

as many as 5 or more visits during one

training session.

Once your dog is relaxed with the person

outside, you can slow the treats down as

long as he stays lying down and remains

quiet. Or you can go ahead and invite the

person in.

13.5 Step 3: What to Do When

the Guest Enters the House

When your guest steps inside, make sure

you stand between Fido and the guest so

you can block Fido from getting to the guest if he gets up. Also, keep the treats

coming fast enough so he doesn’t get up. If your dog gets up once the visitor is

inside, block him from getting to the person by stepping in front of the person well

before Fido reaches the person.

If Fido goes to lie down on his own, don’t reward him. Only reward him when he

lies down on cue, and then call him off at the end. This way he’ll learn that you’re

still in charge of the rewards and he can’t just go back randomly to get rewards,

then get off his “place” whenever he feels like it.

Recommended Daily Practice: At least two 5-minute guest visits (and any other

time visitors come over).

Start with one dog:

If you have more than one dog who’s misbehaved at the door, make sure only the

dog in training is out during the early guest visits. You’ll add the other dogs later,

once you know Fido can be successful with this added distraction.

Dogs learn this step quickest if they know they can’t get by you to reach the

visitor because you’ve practiced the “Leave-it” exercise in Chapter 6 of the DVD.

Dogs who love to jump on people will also get through this step faster if they

have worked on the “Rewarding Calm Behavior” exercises in Chapter 9.

13.3 Step 1: What to Do When

the Doorbell Rings

When the doorbell rings and your dog

runs and barks at the door, tell him to

“place.” If he doesn’t immediately place,

then instead, stand near his rug and call

him to come. If you’ve practiced your recall

he should come readily. (Refer to Chapter

10.) If he doesn’t come readily that means

you’ll have to have him on leash for this

exercise until he’s reliable. Once he reaches

you, give him a treat by hand, and then tell

him to “place.” Often dogs will place on their

own once you get them near their rug.

Alternatively instead of calling him, you

can block him from getting to the door.

If you’ve worked on the say "please" by sitting and rewarding calm behavior and

teaching impulse control, then he should quickly figure out that he can’t get by

and should do something else that’s more rewarding, such as lie down on his rug.

In fact, if he doesn’t immediately "place" on cue (assuming your goal is to have

him “place” on cue), or come when called doesn’t work, and then focus on the

blocking exercise. At this point it’s essential that he learns he won’t get rewarded for

the unwanted behavior of rushing the door.

NOTE: If the rug is located on the way to the door and within 5 feet of the door,

it will be easier to teach Fido to “place” with high distractions. It will also be

easier to block him from getting to the guest if he stands up.

Step 1: When the doorbell rings and

your dog runs and barks at the door,

tell him to “Place.” If he doesn’t

immediately place, then instead, stand

near his “place” and call him to come.

Step 2: As soon as he places,

dispense treats using the remote

every 2-3 seconds. Continue at this

rate if he looks like he wants to get

up or if he barks.

Step 3: When the person steps

inside, make sure you stand

between your dog and the guest so

you can block him from getting to

the guest if he gets up.
