Do you want your dog to be the perfect host? Well, you’re in luck! In this blog post, we will outline a step-by-step guide on how to train your dog to greet houseguests. This can be a great way to make a good first impression on guests, and it can also help keep your home clean. So, without further ado, let’s get started!
The first step is to get your dog used to guests coming into the house. This can be done by having friends or family members come over and visit frequently. Once your dog is comfortable with this, you can start working on teaching them how to greet guests.
One way to do this is to have your guest come in and sit down on the couch. Then, have your dog come over and greet them. If your dog jumps up on the guest, tell them “Off!” and put them back in their place. It may take some time, but eventually your dog will learn that they need to sit or stand politely to greet guests.
Another way to teach your dog how to greet guests is to have them sit or lie down when guests come in. Then, give the guest a treat and praise your dog for being calm. If your dog gets up from their spot, tell them “No” and put them back in their spot. With some patience and practice, your dog will learn that they need to stay in their spot until they are given permission to move.
Following these steps will help ensure that your dog is well-behaved when guests come over. Not only will this make your home look good, but it will also make your guests feel comfortable and welcome. So, what are you waiting for? Start training your dog today!
