OH THANK you!!! I NEED to do this! The barking is outrageous when someone actually IS at the door~ if I answer it and someone is trying to tell me something, I can't hear for all the barking and even as annoying as it is to me, I hate for people to get a bad impression of Yorkies, or little dogs in general, b/c you just know they will! And these guys are usually so quiet and calm; until someone is at the door or the back yard.
I have a question about this though....is there anyway to be somewhat selective about it? B/c whenever my dh or I drive up the driveway or into the garage, they're so excited and start barking b/c they know (or I think they do) that it's US....it's totally different than when someone just comes to the door. Can you allow that barking? Does this make sense?
