Or do you have a dog like mine that greets everyone at the door as if they came to be with her?
If your dog barks at the doorbell and runs excitedly to the door, here are steps to train your dog to stop this behavior:
The trick is that you want to teach her to go to a new spot.
1. Pick up a new treat and once you have her attention say, "Go to the rug/pillow" (or whatever) and toss the treat there.
2. As she is eating say, "Good,rug/pillow" then give her the "Stay" command.
3. Practice this gradually replacing treats with praise until she gets the hang of it.
4. Now, phase in the doorbell.
