Description

With a puppy, good door manners begin right with the crate door. When your pup has graduated from the crate, good door manners for other doors in your house can be easily taught (or your pup may even generalize the behavior all on his own!)

Puppies and Doors: Doors confound new pups. Some rush right through them. Others get all excited when we approach the door. But good door manners are important. Not just because it makes your life more livable with your pup but because good door manners represents that your pup has learned impulse control. That kind of self-control could save your dog's life. Many dogs are injured each year by rushing out doors (car, home, fence, etc.) into traffic or other hazardous areas.
