My dog attacks visitors at the door. How do I stop this aggression?

Question

I had asked my question earlier about how to stop a dog from biting when people come in the front door. I was told to teach basic skills. He knows how to sit, lie down, stay, roll over, shake, and play dead. All of his skills go out the door and he goes into crazy attack mode and doesn’t listen when someone he isn’t used to or has never me comes into our house.

Once he stops and settles down, you can reward him with a treat. This will get him used to listening to you better with distractions around
