I would invest and do research on an electronic collar. There is a lot of info on them at leerburg.com.

Keep a leash close by. When someone comes to the door put the leash on the dog. Make it sit until the person is inside and the door is closed.

With practice, you can make the dog sit without the leash.

I completely agree with Danialle! Keep a leash by the door. When the doorbell rings put the leash on the dog and make her sit as the visitors enter (have the visitors ignore her at first, to much excitement will only make things harder.) Repeat this behavior at the door when the guests leave. The leash and the command to sit are equally important. It's tempting to just put a leash on her, but she needs something to do while at the door. So make sure to tell her to sit. It will take a ton of practice, but it will stop her from running away immediately. Someday, hopefully soon, she'll be able to greet visitors with no leash and in a calm sit pose. Good luck! :)

Since dogs are food motivated I'd make a cluck sound when she sits and give her a treat. You'll have to practice this before someone comes to the door.

Use the leash during practice sessions so she will know a treat will soon be coming.

As soon as someone comes through the door throw out a doggie bone. Make sure the dog sees it. Once the treat has been eaten teach the dog that there is another treat waiting just as soon as the dog returns into the house. Maybe let the guest give the dog the return bone.

I have a Shih Tzu who runs away if I put her outside without a leash on. She eventually comes back after we call her a lot.

My dog runs away. It's really terrible. He can open the door and get out of the house even when he has been crated. What can I do?
