Greeting guest: Hanna the girl next door is helping us train good manners when greeting guests. Hanna knocks on the door and we ignore Hanna. Of course Betsy freaks out so we do do the basic sit, drop, up until she settles down. We use the clicker for this. When Betsy is a bit settled, we open the door and repeat. Again, when she is settled we let Hanna in and repeat. Hanna knows not to pay any attention to Betsy- no looking, no talking, no petting. Betsy isn’t very good at accepting pets, even from us, so we are not allowing Hanna to pet Betsy. When and only if we have a good session we allow Hanna to sit down on the floor in Betsy’s bubble and do her basic training exercises- sit, drop, up.
Bark/Quiet: very much beginning stages.
