Deep dives
Understanding Reactivity at the Door
Reactivity at the door is a common issue for many dog owners. When a dog barks at the door, it is a normal and natural response due to conditioned behavior. Dogs bark at the door because it represents a stranger's presence and their instinct to protect. Trying to completely stop the barking may not be realistic. Instead, the focus should be on redirecting the dog's behavior through obedience and control.
