We had our first houseguests since adopting Zorro this weekend and he acquitted himself extremely well. No jumping or barking, and when we had dinner, he sat quietly off to the side. I did close the curtains when the moon rose above the trees; I didn't want to worry about a moon meltdown when we had company.
We had a big thunderstorm in the middle of the night and this time, he sought safety in the bathroom instead of the basement. Fortunately, none of our guests got up in the middle of the night to pee; finding a big black and white dog in the shower at 3 AM could be alarming.
He did have some barking eruptions on the way home, apparently because he thought he saw the moon in some cloud formations. But Denny managed to get him to lie down, so I feel like we're making progress. When he quiets down, he gets a treat. Hopefully he hasn't figured out that this is an easy way to score lots of treats.
