We have an 8 month old labrador. He is great but gets over exited when people come round, jumping on them, barking, licking them, climbing on them and peeing on the floor.
It's quite scary for our childrens friends and our friends who have babies or are elderly.
I put him in his crate as soon as he starts but then he just whines really loudly (we have an open plan house). I have tried shutting him in the garden but he braks and throws his whole body at the glass doors (they are safety glass btw!). I have tried giving him treats when he stays calm but it just doesn't work, he just goes into a frenzy. If we ignore him it gets worse.
It's got to the point people are quite wary of coming round and get really annoyed with him,
What can I do???
