[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this sounds stupid but can anyone tell me how to train it?  Part of the problem is that I don’t know when the guy comes so I can put him in a down stay and get him settled in advance.  I’ve been sleeping downstairs on milk night and when th guy comes I then try to hush him.

I did buy a bark collar but it doesn’t seem to work.  Maybe I need to order a different brand.  [/quote]

And you don't have to only do it at 4 am, and in fact you shouldn't. Get a friend to make milk delivery noises outside during waking hours while you are ready with treats and awake enough to make sure the dog understands what you want. [/quote]

+1. I helped an old neighbor work on training her dog on not freaking out about people at the door - I think she even got a noise-activated treat dispenser that she placed at the back of her house, so eventually when the doorbell rang, the dog would sprint *away* from the door to look for the treats. But [most] dogs can't compartmentalize, so if you want your dog barking at anyone else who finds themselves on your porch at 4 AM, you'll have to deal with the barking for milk delivery (unless, as a PP suggested, you move the milk box further out).[/quote]
