13 ideas to show your pet dog not to bark at the doorbell

If you want your pet dog to do a certain behavior, you have to be consistent.

Here are some ideas to show your pet dog not to bark at the doorbell

1. decide what you want your pet dog to do instead

One or two barks is ok when the doorbell rings, but nonstop barking is unnecessary. but that’s just my opinion. You know what you want your pet dog to do or not to do.

Maybe you have a pet dog bed in another room you want your pet dog to stay on. maybe you want her to go to her kennel. maybe you want her to lie down.

Or maybe you don’t mind if she barks, but you want her to keep all four paws on the ground.

Figure out what you want her to do, rather than focusing on what you don’t want. It’s easy to begin training once you have a plan.

2. practice this every day

Dogs need dozens or even hundreds of repetitions before a behavior is conditioned. That indicates I have to practice this with my pet dog at least several times a week.

3. start by ringing the doorbell yourself.

Es

Ring the doorbell, and then immediately direct your dog. If you want her to go to her bed, tell her the command for that.

In my case, it will be, “Remy, sit. Bliv.” then he will get a treat. Do this about 10 times in a row. By then, some dogs will automatically do the behavior at the sound of the doorbell. Food is a lot more crucial to my pet dog than the doorbell, so he will start to think, “Doorbell. Sidde. Mad.”

4. also practice knocking

Do the same thing, only knock at the door loudly. give your pet dog a treat when she does what you want.

5. Pretend to answer the door, even though no one is there

Make a really big deal out of it. “Hej! Hvordan går det!” If your pet dog breaks from the position, put her back. remember to train your pet dog in small steps, so if this step is too challenging for her, return to an much easier step so she can be successful.

6. practice with a family member to get your pet dog not to bark at the doorbell

The next step is to have an understanding friend or family member come to the door. have them enter and re-enter the door 10 times so your pet dog gets lots of practice.

7. encourage friends to neglect your dog

The hardest part about teaching a pet dog not to jump, bark or break a stay position at the door is a lot of people who visit love dogs.

Dog lovers naturally pet, talk to, look at and make a big deal over the dog. I do the same thing.

We pet dog lovers even say things like, “Oh, it’s ok if he jumps. I don’t mind.” It’s very hard for a pet dog to stay if someone new is talking to them in an ecstatic voice or just making a big deal about the pet dog in general.

8. Be consistent whenever the doorbell rings

Dog owners tend to be pretty lenient with their dogs around other pet dog owners. At least I am. When my family members visit, I know they love Remy and don’t care if he gets pushy. but what does this show my dog? It teaches him that often he can get away with whatever he wants.

9. practice in any way the doors like the side door or back door

My pet dog Ace used to go nuts if he saw someone walk by our backyard. He was also pretty bad when someone entered through the front door, but he was typically good at the garage door because half the time he didn’t notice someone new came in.

The point is, practice what you want your pet dog to do at each doorway.

10. decide how long you want your pet dog to stay before you release her

I don’t have a certain length of time I want Remy to stay. It really depends on who is visiting. If a delivery person is at my door, I want Remy to stay until that person is gone. When friends are over with their dogs, I won’t expect Remy to stay for a lot more than a few seconds. but I want him to stay until I release him no matter what. It could be five seconds, it could be 10 minutes.

11. reinforce the stay command to get your pet dog not to bark at the doorbell

Sometimes it’s great to have your pet dog stay in one spot for up to a half-hour when guests are over. This really teaches the pet dog to be calm before they can seek attention from visitors.

If you have a hyper pet dog but she is trained well to stay on her bed for up to a half-hour, then she can still be a part of the “pack” rather than be shut away in a kennel. It’s also convenient if the pet dog stays on her bed while people are eating.

I remember one time Ace made a decision to make a scene during Thanksgiving dinner and cry while he staying on hisseng. Han fortsatte derefter med at græde, da jeg lagde ham i sin kennel. Dette viser bare, at jeg ikke havde forstærket opholdskommandoen ofte nok, da gæsterne var forbi. Dette er en meget god ting at øve sig. Start med kun 30 sekunder eller et minut ad gangen.

12. Hold din hund på snoret for at træne din hund ikke at bøje på dørklokken

Der er ikke noget galt med at holde din hund på hendes snor, når folk kommer til døren, eller når gæsterne er overstået. Hvis det holder hende under kontrol, indtil hun har haft meget mere træning, så stor.

Du vil måske overveje en kort snor eller “leash tab”, som er en kort snor, din hund hund kan bære, der ikke bliver fanget på alt, men du kan nemt holde fast på det, hvis det er nødvendigt, indtil du viser din hund ikke at bøje ved dørklokken.

13. Sørg for, at alle mennesker i din husstand er konsistente

Hvis du gør din kæledyr hund sidder og hold dig på hoveddøren, men dine børn gør det ikke, så vil din hund ikke forstå, hvad hun er meningen at gøre. Hunde har brug for gentagelser af samme adfærd.

Hvorfor gøer hunde på dørklokken alligevel?

Hvis din kæledyrhund bøjer ved dørklokken, lærte han, at lyden af ​​dørklokken angiver, at nogen er ved at komme ind i huset. Han kan forbinde dette med en ekstatisk adfærd, “Åh, hej?! Hvem kunne det være? Hold da op!” Eller han kan være territorial og beskyttende, “Hey! Ubuden gæst!”

Hvis du lige har vedtaget en kæledyrshund, der boede udenfor eller en hvalp, der kun har boet i et hus, kan du være chokeret, din hundhund bøjer ikke på dørklokken. Dette skyldes, at din kæledyrshund ikke har lavet denne tilknytning endnu. Han kan dog bøje bark ved støj, fordi det er nyt og anderledes.

Hvad vil du føje til denne liste for at få en hund ikke at bjeffe på dørklokken?
