Does your pup love people? Often, dogs will get excited when there’s somebody at the door – they might bark, or run up to the door ready to jump up and greet the person waiting to come in, whether it’s someone in their household, a friend or relative they already know, or even a stranger.
However, it’s a good idea to teach good door manners. What if your guest is frail or elderly, or carrying a baby or young child? Or, they may simply be wary of dogs or just not want an intense greeting from one. And if your visitor is happy to fuss over your dog, there’s no harm in waiting until they’re inside and can grab a couple of the best dog treats for good measure!
