[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need people to come over who will help you train her.

They knock/ring bell.
You open door and visitor steps in, facing you and dog.
You close the door.
Dog goes crazy.
Visitor needs to turn their back to the dog (facing the front door) and cross their arms,  so the dog can't nudge or lick their hands.
You say, "Dogname, Sit!" Wait a beat or two for the dog to listen before you say it again.
When dog sits, praise.
Visitor turns around to face you and dog.
Dog gets up, and you immediately say "Dogname Sit!"
If dog doesn't sit, visitor turns around again, back to dog, arms crossed.
Lather, rinse repeat.

This may take MANY repetitions - and the dog may learn at first "Oh, when JANE comes over I have to be calm, but when ANYONE ELSE comes by, all bets are off," unless you do this with several people.  Train the dog that the people say hello to people first, THEN dog. [/quote]

My parents did this with their dog. They've spent thousands on dog trainers. Dog obeys the sit now. Except the second you release her, she jumps and licks and attacks the new person with kisses. It's so awful. i think the dog just needs to go to the basement permanently when there's company. [/quote]
