THE CALM GREETING

The Calm Greeting is a practical guide from the Indiana Dog Whisperer to creating calmer, safer greetings with visitors.

In this downloadable guide, I explain the same visitor and doorway principles I use during my in-home behavior sessions, including:

• Why no touch, no talk, and no eye contact matters at the beginning• How to prepare visitors before they arrive• Door control and keeping the owner in charge of the greeting• How I handle jumping without turning it into a game• Why a dog can sniff without being immediately petted• When affection should begin• How to handle dogs that demand attention• How greetings change with fearful or unsure dogs• When distance, barriers, or a muzzle may be needed for safety• Real examples from dogs I have worked with• A 7-Day Calm Greeting Reset you can follow at home

The goal is not to force every dog to love every visitor. The goal is to create a greeting that is calm, controlled, and safe for everyone involved.
