Over excited when people come over

I have an 18 month old male pure breed gsd of german bloodlines and no matter how much exercise he has gotten when my friends come over he loses it. He runs around the house, chases his tail, jumps on everybody and its like there are no rules when people come over. It's very frustrating. I need help on how to stop this behavior because its getting to the point where I don't want anyone coming to my house because I know he is going to freak out.

Alright well i got nothing more to say. Youre obviously a superior trainer and its only a matter of time before we see you at worlds in all the ringsports and ipo kicking the crap out of the lazy trainers like Ivan Balabanov or michael ellis or anybody else putting prong collars and ecollars on their dogs. You should hold a seminar or something.

I'm not sure why you have an attitude. I told you that I use prong collars and shock collars and don't have a problem with them and understand that some sports need to use corrections to get desired results.

But for real life, going out with your dog or teaching them manners inside the house like this, it just isn't necessary. I am a decent trainer because I am willing to adapt tools for the situation. If they situation were IPO and ringsport, I'd be using a prong. When the situation is a poorly trained dog who's excited about guests coming over, I'm not. There are better methods in this case to achieve the same results.

Seriously arguing your method of training for every situation under the sun because I do not agree whatsoever? Yes. :crazy:

Ok you guys, stop flirting and get back on topic. OP needs some help here. I suggest using hard corrections on the guests. If they can't use some self control and ignore the pup, then go after them! Escort them to the door and tell them not to come back until they understand that this is very important. :D

OP, get your pup to settle at your side with a nice knuckle bone to work on. Tether your pup to the furniture if you have to, but make sure that he stays there quietly. If he's acting up, crate him for 10 minutes and start over again. He'll eventually decide that he'd rather be with you. This worked for me. But you can't uncrate him until he's quiet. And you have to recrate him when he isn't. Every single time, so he gets it.
