The dog and the doorbell are a combination of elements that are not usually a source of joy for their furry owners. Nor should everything be said for their neighbors. And barking at the doorbell is a pretty common dog discipline problem because natural behavior command protection (or family in this case). Doberman or Pekingese, it doesn’t matter. However, it is possible to get them to stop doing it if you know how.
Types of barking when the doorbell rings
As always, part of solving a problem happens and it starts with understanding the reasons why it happens. As a “dog mom” trying to stop being afraid of the mailman ringing the bell, I learned after much research that, dogs may bark at this stimulus for two different or even combined reasons.:
First of all we have territorial instinctA reassuring behavior to humans as the dog guards the house and deters intruders. However, this type of barking is usually compelling and persistent. Very annoying in the long run.
On the other hand, a shell can also be warn us of a coming that will make them happy. Either because they know the ringing is waiting for a visit, or because they’re excited that a family member has arrived. It is known for less barking than before, and also for wagging their tails, making eye contact with you, and waiting for you to open the door.
Teach your dog to stop barking when the doorbell rings
In my own experience, one very simple thing that makes a big difference is maintaining a calm and relaxed attitude. The noise of the noise and having someone on the other side waiting to be served isn’t always easy, but it’s the only way to start. The nagging and shouting will only exacerbate the problem as we feed off of their tension..
So when someone knocks on the door and my dog instinctively barks, without being overwhelmed or rushed, I go over to answer the door and calmly lead him to his bed (but you can do this anywhere your pet is lying down to calm down) while repeating “to your bed” (you can use any command you want). Of course, it is important that we do it without coercion, it is about obeying us and accompanying us to the place.
I listened to you once reward him. I won’t lie to you, it will take a lot of repetition and perseverance for him to stop barking like crazy. However, while the total solution may take weeks and months to arrive, I promise that the improvement will be immediate as soon as you start applying this technique.
