    Hi

    Dyson is now a year old (birthday today). He has calmed down tremendously, walks on the lead with very little pulling, the only thing we can't seem to conquer is when people come to visit he turns in to the Tazmanian devil. Jumping/bouncing basically way over excited. Have tried leaving him in another room to calm down, doesn't help. It's at the stage now I can't have my young nieces over in fear that he does them damage. Please all suggestions greatly welcomed :'(

    Hey Dyson! Happy Birthday!

    I would suggest trying a stuffed kong or other treat and associate that with the doorbell ringing and Dyson having to go to a certain place - either crate bed mat or rug? Then you link a nice thing in a place of your chosing when the bell rings or door knocks.

    Good luck!
