DOOR CRASHERS AND NOSE BOPPERS
Does Your Dog get over-excited when someone (you or a guest) comes through your front door???
Can you only open the door a crack when you are having something delivered to the door or checking for mail because if you open it all the way your dog will blast out the door and take a tour around the neighborhood?
Does it take your dog 20 minutes to stop barking and calm down when guests arrive??
Does Your dog get so excited to see you/guests that they pee out of excitement?
Does Your dog jump on people when you are out in public?
Is your dog great when they have a leash on....but then a constant jumper when the leash comes off?
Learn How to create a dog that has respect for boundaries and fix all those unwanted behaviours listed above!
