Ha ha, isn't this true of any dog? We use to ring the doorbell everyday when Joey was a puppy, so he'd get use to it and not think it was any big deal, he never reacted to it, and we stopped doing it. Of course, now when it rings he goes ballistic, and you could try sensitizing them to the noise by ringing it all the time, but we don't get that many door ringers anyway for me to bother with this, and I love the way he chases salesman away. He hates most repairman and the cable guy too, but if I give them a treat to give to him, he usually settles down. |
