Your Quick Checklist

Management beats correction every time. Keep these handy:

• Stay boring on arrival — wait until your dog is calm before any hello
• Greet low and sideways, never leaning over or staring
• Empty the tank first — a quick potty trip before guests or homecomings
• Brief your visitors to toss a treat instead of swooping in
• Grow confidence with tricks, food puzzles, and letting the dog set the pace
