Dog Health Questions: Dog training question?

i got a puppy and am training him while he is still young. he knows sit, stay, come, lie down, and some tricks. he gets some what excited when someone comes to the door, he knows not to jump but we want him to be calmer when someone comes to the door we tell him to sit then stay then we open the door. he has that part down. then we say 'say hi' but he doesnt know that yet once people come in he still stays but he moves around alot and gets really excited how can we get him to know that its ok to go 'say hi'

Recommended Answer:
leash him up before you open the door.. put him in the down/stay.. if he gets up, correct him and put him back into the down/stay.

Your guests should IGNORE him until you have given the release of "ok"
