That's a great idea! Max is really so eager to please, that he learned "NO" really fast and then when he'd bark when someone was at the door (or thought they were), before I opened the door, I'd tell him in a stern voice "STAY!" and I'd open the door (most of the time nobody was there), but I'd give him a treat after I closed the door and tell him "Good Boy!".....it's gotten to the point now, that he'll run to the door barking, then go over and sit on the carpet just so he can get a treat, LOL.
The only problem is, if there IS someone at the door, they still go insane
....we need to work on that
