Wait I just thought of something.

I truly believe the dog needs his own 'spot'. She should encourage the down and stay 100%. She should then just go to the door open it and then close it - ensureing he is still in his spot. Continue throughout the day.

Next days to come when mastered: She 'points' to his spot and he stays. She opens the door herself and rings the bell all the while giving stay signal. Close the dooor. Do the exercise throughout the day.

For now until always - even with people of his home...the dog should never greet anyone at the door until given the command to do so. If I come home and the dogs run to the door, I click my fingers and point....and they will go to their respective areas until I get my things together to take them for their walks.

What do you think of this idea?
