Good questions
Before you begin.
Is management the same as training?
No. Management prevents incidents while training builds new habits. Most plans use both.
How do I keep children safe around a nervous dog?
Supervise every interaction and separate them whenever you cannot watch. Teach children to leave the dog alone when it is eating, sleeping or retreating.
What if my dog is fine with family but not guests?
Plan guest arrivals ahead: the dog waits in a closed room with a chew, and guests leave it alone until you decide otherwise.
Who should attend the visit?
Every adult in the home and older children, so everyone follows the same plan.
