How To Get Your Dog To Stop Barking At The Front Door

How do I get my dog to stop barking at the front door?

Dogs are naturally territorial and it's in their nature to bark at the front door if somebody's coming to greet you. What I do when they bark at the front door, is I say, "Thank you for letting me know an intruder's coming in," and then I teach "quiet", so a quiet command is imperative. I might also use different techniques such as maybe having the dog on a leash, using a spritz of breath spray, which is a deterrent, and saying "quiet". But I also acknowledge the dog for letting me know that there's an intruder by barking at the front door. But once they've become accepted, they need to be come quiet. "Quiet" is the command.
