Make him sit, and be steady to you opening the door and released on command. Not only is it a good opportunity for enforcing steadiness in your dog but also teaching him early that compliance with your commands is the only route to accessing his drive.

Cheers for the advice pointer. I will do that from now on. Makes perfect sense.
