🐾 Visitor Greeting Guide

Help your dog greet visitors calmly, without shouting over the barking.

The doorbell rings and the scramble begins. Barking at visitors can mean “someone’s here”, “I want to say hello” or “I need space”, and each needs a different response. This guide helps you find out which, then teach a calmer arrival routine.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

✅ Write down your dog’s arrival pattern and find the real trigger
✅ Tell alert, excited and worried barking apart
✅ Know when barking calls for a safety pause or a vet visit
✅ Set up the doorway before the knock with gates, distance and blocked views
✅ Teach a mat routine that gives your dog a calmer job
✅ Make the doorbell predict good things, step by step
✅ Run a real visit with room to adjust

You’ll also receive:

📝 One Week Bark Diary Worksheet
✅ Visitor Wait and Give Space Checklist
📚 A full reference list of the veterinary research behind the guide
