Cool,<br> that you're with me again! :D\n\n*Today it's about a topic that we dog owners know very well...\nSomeone rings the doorbell and boom your dog jumps in a triangle,<br> barks like crazy... If you have your own house with some distance to the nearest neighbors,<br> then you might not reap the same trouble or rumpled noses,<br> but in the long run it is even then annoying.*\n\n\n----------\n\n\nIf you have a rented apartment and direct neighbors,<br> then that will probably be annoying at the latest after the second,<br> third time. Then you come home with your dog and the neighbors in the stairwell look at you a little annoyed ... For a nice living together with your neighbors is just not conducive. So you want to do something at it...\n\n\n----------\n![- (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/QOdMrVw.jpg?2)\n[Image by [Pexels.com (https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/adorable-blur-breed-close-up-406014\/) - Lizenz CC0 \n\nA dog barkes and hey that's ok... it is a dog. But please... not all the time! He should also give peace and the relationship with your neighbors should not suffer from your dog.\n\nThe good news in advance: You do not stand alone with it! So many dog owners are searching for ways to get it bit more quiet...\n\nBefore you ask yourself,<br> what you can \"do\",<br> it is first of all to find out WHY your dog barks at all. Because there are quite different motivations and mixed forms of it ... I'll tell you now briefly:\n\n## Why is your dog barking when it rings?\n\n#### Option 1: \nYour dog is simply scared ... because he does not know what's going on,<br> who disturbs his peace,<br> what will happen now. It was so nice and quiet all day. He only heard the sounds he knew...,<br> suddenly this shrill ringing and perhaps a strange voice he can not match. Sure,<br> such a frightened dog will make alarm.\n#### Option 2: \nYour dog wants to defend his territory because he sees it as his task to protect you and your home from intruders. He barks to alert you to the intruder and warn you of the potential danger. More or less watchdog is in every dog \u200b\u200band you should be grateful for that. The guard dog does not bark to annoy you,<br> but simply to protect you.\n#### Option 3: \nYour dog is happy that something happens,<br> someone comes... and maybe deals with him... that he gets attention. Maybe he even has some treats with him? So yell at him and use the favor of the moment! ;-)\n\n\n----------\n\n\nRarely only one of the 3 options applies to a dog. Rather,<br> the motivations to bark in your dog are a mixture of 2 or even 3 of the mentioned points.\n\nAlthough there is no patent remedy to stop him from barking,<br> but still a few very promising methods. Which of the methods to try out makes sense is due to the motivation to bark,<br> which we have discussed above. So you have to watch him well first and find out what type of barker he is... when exactly he is barking and why.\n\nIf you have formed your opinion regarding the motives,<br> then you start with the training. But be prepared to adjust the story with the motifs afterwards! You will notice more and more details as you pay more attention to it. That's why the first impression does not have to be exactly the right one. Surely you will refine it over time.\n\n### Method 1\nSuppose your dog barks mainly for joy,<br> then make a note to the door outside on which you clearly and plainly ask to ignore your dog. And please until you say something else. When it's time and someone rings,<br> just behave like your dog isn't there. Do not pay attention! It's not that easy at the beginning and you have to really focus. \n\nBut believe me,<br> that works wonders at the \"Joy barker\"! It will take a few tries until the dog understands that there's nothing left to bark and jump around in a triangle. One dog lasts a bit longer than the other,<br> so just stick it out. As soon as your dog actually stays calm,<br> wait a few minutes and THEN pay attention to it. As a reward for the peace he has preserved,<br> you THEN deal with him. \n*You have to do this procedure a few times until it sits.*\n\n![ (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/2XLV6kN.jpg?1)\n[Image by Pexels.com - CC0 Lizenz \n### Method 2\nAs a second method,<br> I recommend that you send your dog to the basket and reward him for staying there and being calm. Put the basket a bit away from the door. Your dog should know that he is not required as a watchdog at the moment,<br> but that you get along fine with the situation alone. As always,<br> it will take a few tries,<br> so stick it out!\n\n![ (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/UCzxvNZ.jpg)\n[Image by [Pexels.com (https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/dalmatian-on-pet-bed-805306\/) - CC0 Lizenz \n### Method 3\nAs a third method it helps to distract your dog,<br> eg. with his favorite cuddly toy or a food bag. Something he loves and with which he can spend a good time.\n\n\n----------\n\n\nNo matter which of the methods you are trying,<br> it is always crucial that you keep calm yourself. Only if you yourself have the peace and the dog does not notice a spark of excitement in you,<br> he can also stay calm. You have the scene under control,<br> everything is easy,<br> you get well .... You have to bring that peace over.\n\nMaybe you have already tried this and that,<br> but do not let it get you down! The described methods almost always bring an improvement. You just have to do it.\n\n\n----------\n\n\nWhat I'm burning interested in,<br> is which methods you have achieved the best results with your dog! Also write me if you have any tips that I have not thought of here and how you can refine the training.\n\nTo be successful with my tips,<br> it is important to understand the 2 parts! First you have to watch your dog to understand why your dog is barking. Just like us humans,<br> each dog has its own character,<br> which is crucial for its behavior. Only when you have understood the reason WHY your dog barks ... only then it goes to the actual work with him!\n\nSo,<br> that was a lot of text for today and I hope it helps you!\n\ngreetings\n@louis88\n\n**You liked the post?
