Dog barking when people come to the door

[BobLoblaw]

Penny is 2(ish) she is very well behaved when we are out of the house, her recall, drop and stay are very good and she will ignore other dogs/people. But when we are at home as soon as anyone comes up the path she barks and runs to the door, if I see them first I can get her to stay on the sofa and she just grumbles but if she notices first it's too late to stop her. As soon as the door is open she lies on her back at their feet but she sounds very vicious when she's barking. I'm not sure how to train her not to behave this way, atm Oscar just sits looking at her but i'm worried he will start doing the same. TIA :)

Weaving is not recommended for dogs under 12 months. Just get used to working her on both sides of you, make sure she can sit and wait while you move around. Also quick down command. I'm no expert- not been doing it with mine for long, but it's such good fun! Think there's a topic on it around here somewhere- there'll be some experts that know more!

Gone off on a bit of a tangent for this thread- sorry everyone! swallowed not sure about age for the weave- it is a pretty tight movement for them. In agility they really only need a down to keep them on the pause table- 5 seconds I think it is. It's hard for them to suddenly stop still in one place when they have just been racing around because they want to carry on! like this So it's not a down stay. Anyway- youtube is great to see agility demonstrations so you know what's involved!
