One of the best ways to keep me quiet when someone comes to the door is to keep guests quiet too. Knocking, ringing the doorbell and voices at the door are big triggers to set me off barking. Ask expected guests to just walk in the door and to please not shout their arrival. XOXOXO THE IDEAL DOG

No matter what the situation is, I'm more likely to let go of the item
in my mouth if there is something better to put in my mouth. Instead of
yelling at me for grabbing the t.v. remote, drop some pieces of cheese
on the floor near me. If you threaten me or try to grab the item, I'm

play session, or tossing bits of food in my path. How I don't like it
when the neighborhood dogs (and their owners) call me neurotic or hyper!
