Barking at the door
Hello lovely people. I was wondering if I could ask your help and advice? Our Collie Jack has a tendency to bark and bark and bark and BARK at the door when someone knocks. I don't mind the barking itself, but I mind that he doesn't stop when told. Have any of you experienced this? I am sure someone has. If so, how did you train your dog to cut down the barking a little? Thanks, Lisa. x

Afraid I have the same problem with my little Westie, Misty. Also with my last Westie.
Think it is a territorial thing with dogs, but I was forced to get a small plastic watergun, (childrens toy) and fill it with water.
When Misty barks continually, I shoot the water pistol at her face and she hates it. It does not stop the barking permanently, but it does quieten her at the time.
In a way, it is a good thing that our dogs do bark, as it also deters people from breaking into our homes. lol
