When you first get your dog, you will want to start training them not to bark at the door. This is an important basic command that will keep your dog from barking and waking up the neighbors, or worse, getting you in trouble with the law.
There are a few different ways to train your dog not to bark at the door. One way is to have someone ring the doorbell, and then give your dog a treat when they stop barking. You can also train your dog by teaching them to “speak” or “quiet” on cue. When your dog is quiet, give them a treat.
You will also want to make sure that you are reinforcing the behavior you want your dog to exhibit. If your dog is barking at the door, don’t give them a treat. Only give them a treat when they are quiet. This will help them learn that they will only get a treat when they are behaving properly.
It will take some time and patience, but with a little bit of training, your dog can learn not to bark at the door.
Dog Training Doorbell Barking
One way to keep your dog from barking incessantly when someone comes to the door is to train her to ring a bell to let you know someone is there. You can buy a dog training doorbell, or make your own.
Start by teaching your dog to touch a target. A target can be a small object like a stick or a ball, or it can be your hand. Hold the target out in front of your dog and say “touch.” When she touches it, praise her and give her a treat.
Once your dog is good at touching the target, start using the target to get her to ring a bell. Hang the bell on the door and hold the target just above the bell. When your dog touches the target, say “bell” and give her a treat.
Practice this until your dog is ringing the bell every time someone comes to the door. Then put the bell away and only use the target to get her to touch the door. When she does, say “door” and give her a treat.
Eventually, you can stop using the target and just wait for your dog to touch the door on her own. Once she’s doing this consistently, you can start ringing the bell yourself to let her know someone is there. When she hears the bell, she’ll know to stop barking and go to the door.
Train Dog Not To Bark At Strangers
Dogs are territorial animals and bark to warn off intruders. However, if your dog is barking at every stranger he sees, it can be a nuisance and even dangerous. There are a few things you can do to train your dog not to bark at strangers.
The first step is to establish yourself as the dominant member of the household. You need to be the one in charge so your dog knows who is in control. You can do this by always being the one to feed your dog, give him water, and take him for walks. You should also be the one to punish him when he does something wrong.
The next step is to start training your dog not to bark at strangers. You can do this by having someone ring your doorbell or come up to your house. When your dog starts to bark, say “NO” in a loud, firm voice and then give him a treat. Do this every time your dog barks and he will soon learn that he will only get a treat if he does not bark.
It will take time and patience, but if you are consistent with your training, your dog will eventually learn not to bark at strangers.

Bark Busters – Mike The Dog Trainer
Bark Busters is the largest and most trusted dog training company in the world, with more than 400 franchisees in 16 countries. Bark Busters’ unique approach to dog training is based on the understanding that dogs communicate through body language.
The company was founded by Sylvia and Danny Wilson in 1989, after Sylvia observed that when she and her husband Danny corrected their dog’s behavior through voice commands, their dog responded better to hand signals. This discovery led the Wilsons to develop a training system that used body language rather than voice commands to correct dog behavior.
Bark Busters trainers use this system to help dog owners correct common behavioral problems such as excessive barking, jumping up on people, pulling on the leash, and begging for food. The company’s trainers also offer advice on how to effectively train a dog to perform specific commands, such as sit, stay, come, and down.
Bark Busters has been featured in a variety of publications, including The New York Times, USA Today, and TIME magazine. In addition, the company has been featured on television programs such as The Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America, and The Today Show.
