Yes, we had that problem with our large dog. We had to yell "NO!" and grab him in a forceful manner that was pretty embarrassing in front of the guests, but that was the only way he learned. Luckily our most frequent guests know how to handle dogs, and they would shout "Down!" at him too. But the others were terrified of the dog, then in shock when we yelled at him. These days, he will rush to the door, boop people, but not jump on them. I guess it's an acceptable compromise. If I don't want him to bother guests, I crate him, and if he dares bark in his crate, he gets the bark collar.

So your methods didn't really stop him.  [b]Dogs don't understand the word no[/b] and the bark collar sounds inhumane if it shocks him.  You should really tead up on the latest as your methods are very old school[/quote]

When I say “no,” even rather softly, my dog stops doing whatever he was doing. I’m pretty sure he does understand no.[/quote]

because you made noise, it attracts his attention, and lets him know you're looking at him,but saying no won't do anything, especially in a crazy situation, like a group of dogs walking by[/quote]
