The Dog Megathread

My dog is being trained right now to not go ballistic when people come to the door.  Given the fact that she's a chihuahua, I am skeptical this will 'stick'.

We have not been able to train any dog we have had not to be excited about greeting people at the door.  With our current dog we put her in her kennel when people come in, ask the guest if they are ok with a dog lavishing love on them, if they say no the dog stays in the kennel. If they say yes, they get the full on greeting.

Your puppy.

Has anyone ever declined?

my cousin had a chihuahua (I think it had some min pincher in him, based on his appearance) that she had to put on anti anxiety meds

My dog has min pin ancestry too (25%).

Yep, some people just don't like dogs.
