First, put him on his leash before you open the front door, and give the command for him to “Sit”. If you have spent some time training your dog to sit correctly and on command, this may be enough to stop the problem.

However, if your dog becomes very excited it may not listen to your commands when you have a visitor at the door.

Here’s what to do.

Give the visitor some food rewards for him to bring with them when they next visit. Your dog should then receive a reward from the visitor when they next come round – as long as your dog sits without jumping up at them.

Most dogs will simply jump up to lick their owner’s faces, but others will launch themselves through the air towards people. It goes without saying that this can be dangerous for both your dog and you.

So here’s a way to solve this.

First: You should avoid all eye contact and just walk straight past your dog without greeting him when you arrive.

When your dog’s feet are back on the ground, command him to sit.

Reward and praise your dog if he obeys. If he doesn’t obey your command, then you need to work on basic obedience training more.
