[quote=Anonymous]My dog has two alternative behaviors they're trained to do. One is "go to your mat" (I point and he goes and lays or sits on his mat) the other is "come and sit"(I snap my fingers between my feet and he is trained to come sit between my feet). Both of those with the intent to break his attention from barking. I would allow a couple barks them immediately go into an alternate training routine that will get his focus back on you. This level of agitation is almost like extreme nervousness though. Any guests or types of guests he is more ok with? Can he meet guests outside at the park, then that same guest comes over, gives a treat if he's quiet, leaves? You might need to work with a trainer on this, this is more than just barking at the door. Could also try l'theanine or something else to calm. Barking until the guest leaves - a shock caller might stop the bark but the underlying reason won't be fixed and could cause other problems. [/quote]
