If I know I am having guests, I wash both dogs some hours before the company comes over and clean my house and burn scented candles to set pleasant setting. The dogs know to leave the room when we set down to eat and not to enter it until I say they can as well. I point and snap my figures and the dogs scramble to the next room; the dogs know as well when I am cooking to stay out of my kitchen space as well.
@bijouxbroussard Yes, they are. kid's dogs, and the soldiers I trained all are. But for the life of me I have never been able to train a woman I was involved with, what gives? LOL
