Some sooner, some might take a while to get it. Most dogs pick it up within an hour or so. Now it’s time to add the most important step…īy now your dog should be responding to the “Speak” command on cue with no doorbell/knock. Keep practicing this technique till your dog is speaking on command with just a verbal command and hand signal only. You’ve simply changed their game into your game. Now you’ve given them structure with their bad habit. Next you want to repeat this process several times over the next couple hours. While your dog is barking give them a treat but don’t praise them. Make your hand signal something distinctive like your pointer finger waiving left and right in the air. From there you’re going to stand between them and the door and give a “Speak” command while giving a hand signal. Ring the doorbell and or knock on the door. Here’s how we do this: Go to the door and crack it open just enough where your arm can either ring the doorbell or knock. All you need to know is what triggers them off and you can teach them in a matter of minutes. This isn’t too difficult with excessive barkers. Next you’re gonna need to teach your dog to bark on command. This will not only make things easier for you but it’ll keep your dog in a steady position while training. Now hold that leash in your hand while training this technique. A leash is usually the simplest and most effective form of control. You know what I always say about my 3 rules of training: Control, Train, Treat. Second you’re gonna attach them to a leash. I’d even recommend working them for their diet with this one. Something they like and also be sure they’re hungry. Let’s break this down…įirst thing’s first You’ll need a bag of treats. Most people think I’m crazy when I say this but then I explain it, properly execute it and it works like a charm. Believe it or not the best way to get a dog to be quiet on command is teach them to bark on command. This is something I learned while training dogs for television and commercials.

But there’s a way to instantly get them to stop on command. This is just the dog utilizing its natural protective instincts. Now it’s completely normal for a dog to bark when the doorbell rings or there’s a commotion at the house.

Some want attention while others are being protective. We all know this and most people with excessive barking dogs just tune out the fact their dog is barking out of control.
