how do I stop my inside dog from barking when someone comes to the door?
My rat terrier has a high pitched bark....for some reason she has started to bark when someone comes to the front door....this is a fairly new annoyance....she would usually yap a couple of times at the door, but now it is endless until the door is answered or she is put outside....someone suggested a water gun. Another suggested a shock collar....I do not want to hurt her in any way. She is a sweet dog otherwise. The whole house echoes when she barks and wakes up people or interferes with conversation. She is 2 years old, she has been fixed, and is otherwise a great lap dog.
