When we adopted our dogs, we introduced them to the rest of the family at the park. Neutral ground. I took no treats. Their reward was a hug and good pat on the back and nothing but encouragement. We spent about 2 hours. When we got home they all went out to the far end of the yard and found their "business" area. The new one was actually escorted. When the new one was introduced to anyone else he followed the others example. Guests were always forewarned about the new arrival and new how to "behave". Our dogs have never been allowed to jump on anyone. I hate when I go to a friends house and they still allow their dogs to jump on guests. They don't do it to me though. They know what will happen. All I have to do is say "NO" and Hello, Ladies". I can't stand dogs or cats jumping on people or furniture. Sorry not allowed on my furniture. When they meet children, I instruct the children not to look them in the eye. I have the dogs onleash when they are first introduced. I often kennel my dogs when we get anyone with children. Parents don't know how to make them behave. ANother thing, you had better let me know if you're bringing your pet. DO NOT surprise me. You will be directed to go some where else.
