Every time the doorbell rings in reallife or on TV my dog goes crazy. She starts barking and then all the other dogs start barking and she wont stop. Does anyone else have this problem.

I know that a lot of dogs are scared of the doorbell. I work for a pet sitting service and when we go to meet the owner and the pets, we never ring the doorbell because usually cats and dogs don't like it. So we knock instead.
Smokey and PC are totally like that.
I was watching a movie late at night once and they were having a dinner party and the door bell kept ringing and Smokey kept barking so I kept muting it.
Same thing one night on Conan O'Brien they were "dinging" something so I kept timing the mutes...
My dogs just bark a few times and run to the door to see who it is. They're not scared of it so I don't worry about it much. There is a Pizza Hut commercial with a doorbell in it and they always run to the door when that commercial comes on, hehe :D
LOUD Louie IS our door bell!:rolleyes: ;)
if you watch the show "good dog U" on animal planet, this morning they did a whole episode on barking. at the beginning they talked about a dog that went crazy when the doorbell rang. here's what the host did to help her out:
you have to stay with your dog, a few feet from the door and have someone else help you do it. your friend should be outside, and ringing the doorbell. meanwhile, your going to be inside, with a leash on your dog and you should be crouched down at the same height as your dog. when your friend rings the doorbell, and your dog starts barking, pull gently on the leash and say, "no". repeat and each day, move closer to the door.
hope this helps..good luck :)
My dog barks when somebody knocks too! So every time someone bangs into wood two or three times she goes crazy.
oh..he's so cute! :D what breed?
Not Mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did it say what to do when the dog is smart enough to know the leash is off???:rolleyes: :eek: ;) Louie went through "Leash Training" ad "Uncle Matty"..... Could it be that he is just SPOILED?:D ;)
