Excellent advice - just keep repeating it. In time, you no longer need to treat every time and then not at all - the dog just learns to behave differently but it is the hardest training for me with an excitable dog UNLESS I keep reinforcing it several times a week well after the dog has learned what to do. Some small dogs will relapse on this training quicker than almost anything unless it's kept up.
