I am still working on this with my two. My trainer used this approch, too. He said if all else fails, keep a spray bottle with water near the front door. When the dog starts toward the door, spray him in the face with the water...only takes a couple of times, and then all you have to do is pick up the bottle and they stay back. Worth a try.
