I have relatives flying over here for holidays, and my dog has never seen them before.
Well they are afraid of him. Also, they are arriving at 2am at night!
Which means my dog will be on his sentry duty by the window.
Now I only have 1 set of hands...
The key here is to get them inside the house together, then no problems. But thats the problem.
My dog knows that no normal person walks at 2 am at night, and if we randomly greet them off- property he will still be very very uneasy and will probably bark at them.
Any ideas how to handle this?
p.s.
He WILL bark and growl, etc if they just come to the house. They need to walk in WITH him, otherwise he'll think they are breaking in...
