We purchased a Gentle Leader head collar last week and have used it for 3-4 days on our 6 month old Sammi. She started off a little leary, but for the past two days, we have taken her to Lowe's and…Continue

Judy,
These are the types of things I am currently working on with Bexter (manners, I guess you'd call it). I would definitely share your concerns with the trainer & ask for suggestions. Maybe even write them down. My trainer told me to do what some others here are saying: I keep a leash by the front door. When the doorbell rings, I leash him & make him sit. I have treats that I grab on my way to answer the door also. That way, he sits & I give him the treats. When he is eating the treats, then the person can approach him (if they wanted to pet him). He is more focused on the treats than the person & that seems to help. He is better actually when he doesn't know the person. He'll just sit there calmly. If he DOES know the person pretty well, he gets so excited it is harder. I know some people have their dog go to a certain spot - a mat, bed, or something - when the bell rings. Like people have said, you'll have to have lots of people come over so you can practice with him often.
It's a great place to learn all about Doodles and to meet new friends!
There are lots of groups....so be sure to take a look and join what you like best.
We hope you like it here as much as we do.
It sounds like you must have a fun time with Sammi and Buddy!
What a great pair they must make...
