Quick takeaways

  • Dogs bark at the front door due to conditioned behavior and their instinct to protect, so trying to completely stop the barking may not be realistic but redirecting their behavior through obedience and control can help.
  • Having a solid foundation of obedience training is crucial to address reactivity at the front door, as it allows you to ask for advanced obedience in distracting scenarios and sets your dog up for managing their reactivity successfully.

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.
