So I never really worked with Joel to stay away from the door when people come over because he never runs away and there's ALWAYS people coming over(because the daycare). Now that we're getting another(BIGGER) pup soon, I need to work on Joel more.
I feel like it's not possible to teach him since there's not enough time from when no one is coming over to when someone is really coming, and I don't want him all over a person but without having the gates up. So how would I start?
Like he knows the beginning stages of "Go in the living room" and even stays without people or distractions but I don't know how to get past that step because when a person really comes over he just undoes it all.
Do I just slowly add fake distractions and when someone really comes put the gates up until he gets to that point? Any tips would be helpful
