| Great question. I'll be looking for these tips as well. What I do now is to pick up Ziigy and then answer the door.

| its a toughie because they are too cute! you need to teach the dog sit and stay... and give him something to do when peple come in... so he sits... he stays... and then let the people at the door approach him. You should probbaly find a willing friend who will practice for you. Do NOT open the door until the dog is sitting and staying. Although before you even start witht he door you need to be confident your pup knows sit and stay. |

| ooo don't pick him up. That's rewarding the behavior, whether it be barking or jumping. Although i can undestand being worried about the dog going out the door. While you are practicing with your pup... (having the friend over to help) keep him/her on a leash so they don't bolt! |

| We do the "sit stay" command also. One of our past yorkies had a problem with "Sparkling" all over the shoes of the guests so we had to tone down his excitement.

| Ask your visitors not to look at, touch, or toalk to the dogs until they are calm. It might take a while but they will eventually learn that jomping does not get them any attention. It is hard for you to correct the dog when someone is making a fuss over them. |
