A trainer suggested keeping a leash right by the door to put on him before you open the door. But the best thing to work on is to have a specific place you send him to whenever the doorbell rings. Have him sit/stay there and reward with treats. Practice having him stay longer and longer while you open and close the door, step outside, etc. Chico was bad about charging at the door barking his head off. We've been doing this and he is getting better. Good luck. |
