Teach an Alternative Behavior to Barking

Does your dog bark wildly when the doorbell rings? Dogs bark when they hear the doorbell for several reasons: they are excited (“Yay, someone is here!), they are scared (“Oh no, someone is here!”), or they are simply doing their duty (“Someone is here—I need to let my family know!”). No matter what your dog’s motive is for barking, you can teach your dog to be quiet when the doorbell rings by asking for an alternative behavior.

Puppy Socialization: Check it Out!

Socializing is more than introducing your puppy to lots of people and animals—it’s also about exposing your puppy to everyday objects and experiences. Teaching your puppy to be comfortable in confined spaces, such as a crate, lets the puppy explore an everyday experience and results in a valuable tool for house training and management.
