| I've had the same problem with both of my yorkies. One will excite the other if one notices or hears the doorbell first. I've finially got it handled. My cousin who rescues all types of dogs, said fill a little squirt bottle with water and when the barking starts...squirt the dog in the face (immediately if possible). It works!!! problelm solved. I must say my smallest yorkie, Squeaky, loves to "start stuff". If the little squirt bottle appears, she really minds her manners. It is too cute, when she sees it she backs up, acting as if she is being mistreated. She is such a little con. |

| Many times dogs that bark like this do it because they feel it is their job to protect the home and some people want this. If you don't want a dog that is dominant minded then start teaching them to sit and stay and down when they are young. It's not too late. A dog that knows basic commands also knows that it is not in charge of the house. It knows that the people are in charge of them and the house. If you can put your dog in a sit/stay it is not going to charge the door. A good basic obedience class that is taught by a reputable trainer will help you learn how to properly train your dog in these basic commands. Just because a dog is small does not mean it cannot learn and cannot obey. Usually, it is more training for the human than for the dog. It is repetitious and must be reinforced but is very effective. Your local dog clubs usually have people who are very good at training dogs for obedience and agility. You can go to the AKC website to do a search for clubs near you. |
