Ripley is the worst at door bolting! HE's even figured out how to open the screen door if it's not latched and take a stroll around the neighborhood!! We have trained him to sit/stay at the front door until we release him. I agree that a training collar or gentle leader of some kind will give you the control you need. My girl, Bo, weighs 135lbs and we've used a variety of remedies to keep her in check (easy walk harness, gentle leader, prong collar, martingale collar)...all of which work well. I prefer the prong collar mostly because of the amount of fur on her neck and the fact that it gets her attention better than anything else.
Good luck!!
