Greeted by a Baron

Hi All,

Baron's trainer came today. She thinks he is doing much better; hard to believe isn't it? He came when called (he only does that when she is there), and even stayed once. He was happy, enthusiastic, and willing to do almost anything she requested. Unfortunately his "greeting" (as in at the front door) behavior is not up to Emily Post's standards, hence the trainer recommended continuing work. I already look like an out-of-control anxious parent when visitors come. I am at the door with a bright pink spray bottle (water and a tiny bit of vinegar) yelling "ick". If our visitor is someone Baron is fond of, the she is lucky to enter the house walking as opposed to lying on the ground underneath a rather large poodle.
My current plan is to record the trainer's voice and play it when necessary. Then I will be at the door with a spray bottle, yelling "ick" and playing a recording of the trainer sternly correcting Baron. Oh brother.
