PROTECTING VISITORS TO THE HOME

Ideally, do not allow the dog to meet visitors - keep him in a different room, using a child gate, or put the dog in the car before visitors arrive (providing the dog is happy in the car and that it is not hot in there).

If segregation is not possible, do not allow the dog to meet visitors at the door - put the dog in another room, allow the visitors in and then allow the dog to meet the visitor (keep the dog on a lead and at a safe distance from the visitor).

The dog should be muzzled throughout the visit.
