Hi, our whole family will be gone overnight in a couple weeks and my 26 y.o. nephew has offered to come stay with our dog Sadie. We need to leave before he can get here so he'll have to let himself in. I'm wondering what's the best way for him to come in and greet her. They've met plenty of times but it's been a while and she can be unpredictable with "new" people. By that I mean keeping her distance and barking non-stop. She's never growled or tried to bite but still I want to be safe.
Should he walk in and just stand by the door and let her approach him? Should he have a bag of high-value treats with him? I really appreciate any advice!
