Brinx makes an entrance at Misha May's Understanding Dogs Behavior Class

Brinx, a 6 year old yellow Lab mix, gets very excited when going to a new place or meeting new people. He wants to jump up and get attention. Lorraine makes him wait at the door until he settles down before entering. Once in, the class has been told to say 'good' softly to recognize his calm behaviors like sitting and lying down. He responds by calming down.
