Hi Sarah,
Can you keep your dog on leash with you, then you know what is 
happening with him at all times.
This is a problem living with family and taking training, with a guide dog.
One of the things I mentioned to you before you got the dog.
Now you have him, and just keep him on leash so he gets to know you.
I am also in my second month with my guide, and when anyone comes to 
the door, he is on leash.
I even ask my husband not to open door until dog is on leash.
Then I know I have the control.
Wishing you the best.
