Hi,
I've invited a friend over to start filou getting some practice relaxing about having people in the house. And to test out his barking training
My plan is have my friend to ring the bell, come and ignore the dog.
I'll have Filou on a lead and will hopefully be able to be successfull with shush. He does it very well for me otherwise, and to get him down as often as possible
I was going to give my friend some very special treats that she can drop on the floor around her, still without saying anything to him.
He's very suspicious about anyone not in his "family" even if he's met them before, and will bark alot and be very skittish.
Any suggestions welcome or if there's already an article about this maybe.
many thanks,
jen
