What to do to keep dogs quiet during birthday party?

j_twitchell

We have two dogs and I'm thinking of putting them in the basement during the party, one of the bigger benefits being it's going to be about 83 that day and they'll be cooler in the basement. But, even though they're beyond friendly, they're going to bark when they hear people and then they'll probably bark because they want to be with the people.

 

Any ideas how to keep them quiet?
