that does sound like a good idea. Unfortunetely we live really far away from all relatives and friends so they won't just stop by for a visit for training . I do bring her over to their houses when we visit and so far she is doing ok but we rarely ever have people over at our house, mainly because our "out of control dog" so she usually is crated or gated off in the kitchen when we have company. We allow her to try being out and about with company but if she gets too hyper or doesn't listen she goes back to the crate or the kitchen. We have lots of older people that visit so we have to be careful she doesn't hurt anyone.
