RIGHT NOW
I’m a two-year-old Golden, social and eager—when someone comes to the door I launch at it because that’s how I greet. I don’t know yet that four paws stay down and that you’ll still say hello to me.
- 1Brief the visitor: no eye contact, no words, no touch for one minute.
- 2The second all four paws are down, they may say hello.
- 3Any paw goes up and they turn away, no telling off.
WHAT MOVES
Greet with four paws down

Tight lead: we stop. Loose lead: we go. I'll take the deal.
- 1Lead on. Walk a lap of the room.
- 2Lead goes tight → stop dead. Slack → "Yes", walk on.
- 3Treat at your knee every few steps.
WHAT MOVES
Loose lead

Skin = the fun stops. Toy = the fun continues. I'll work it out.
- 1Play with a toy between you and Milo.
- 2Teeth on skin → freeze, hands away, count three.
- 3Offer the toy again. Teeth on toy → play on.
WHAT MOVES
Teeth on toys, not hands

Shouting over me just sounds like you joining in. If I am barking because I am scared, I need distance, not a cue.
- 1Wait for a natural pause in the barking. Mark it and treat.
- 2Say nothing during the barking itself.
- 3Catch ten pauses. Even a one-second gap counts.
WHAT MOVES
Quiet on cue

Coming to you is a party. Running away is just running.
- 1"Milo, come!" then run backwards, clapping.
- 2Arrival → three treats, one after another.
- 3Let Milo wander off. Again. Ten times.
WHAT MOVES
Comes back when called

The mat is where treats rain gently. I'll lie there a while.
- 1Put the mat down. Any step on it → treat on the mat.
- 2Lying down on it → three treats, slowly.
- 3Pick the mat up when you finish.
WHAT MOVES
Settle on a mat
moved up — you asked about this
You came back every time. That is the only lesson here.
- 1Settle Milo with a chew. Step over a gate and stand there.
- 2Come back before there is any fuss. Ten seconds is plenty.
- 3Ten repetitions. Always return while it is still easy.
WHAT MOVES
Alone in the next room

Accidents are almost always a timing problem, not a me problem.
- 1Rule of thumb for pups: an hour per month of age, plus one. That is a ceiling.
- 2Set the reminder well inside that and follow it. Out on the timer, every time.
- 3Three days without missing one. Dry days mean the timer is right.
