Does Anyone Know How to Make a Dog Stop Barking at Every Lil Noise or When Someone Comes to the Door?

I have several dogs…all small breeds and I can’t seem to stop them from barking at every lil noise, or when someone knocks on the door or rings the doorbell. I’ve resorted to putting one of those child safety gates around the front door entry so the dogs can’t jump on the people that come to the door. I just want them to stop barking at everything….they hear the door open to the house next door when they let their dog out and mine run to the fence ( a 6ft concrete fence ) and start barking. Please, if anyone knows how to stop the barking, besides having them de-barked…give me some ideas. Thank you.

How Can I Get My Dog to Stop Barking at Everyone Who Comes in the Door?

Every time ANYONE…(even my family) enters through a door my dog barks his head off….if its a stranger that he doesn’t know..he keeps barking..he is almost 4 years old..is a pomeranian and is quite small..we think he barks because he is scared…because when he barks he runs right away from the person.. we think he is scared because he might of been abused by his previous owner… um he has done this barking since we got him when he was almost 1…what can we do to make him stop without using a shock collar?

thanks.. mahogany.
he isn’t left alone at all..there is always someone home..if not he is left alone for maybe an hour a day..and is always playful
um…all he does when you try to stop him from barking is run around the house……we can’t get him close to them really….please help!
one other problem is that my uncle sleeps down stairs during the day..so we can’t have him barking excesivly

How Do I Stop My Dog From Barking at People When We Go Out Side or Someone Comes to the Door?

Well i live in a apartment and every time someone walks by the door my dog barks and every time i have company she barks at them then after a few minutes she is ok and wants to play. When we go out side is when i have the big problem I have to hold her so she wont bit anyone i have a muzzle but i want to be one of those people who walk my dog with out a muzzle. Because she barks and try to bit every time we go outside i trained her to pee on a doggy wee wee pad. Should i take her outside more ofter so she gets use to people? She is only 1yr old so i still have time to train her.
Also she will walk for a while then she will just stop and look at me i will call her and yank the leash lightly but she just sits there. Then after a while she would walk again but she will sit there and not move for like 3 min.She is a Maltese dog she is small so when she stops i cant pull her had like i would do if i had a bigger dog i dont want to hurt her.
She is very playful i love playing with her me and my family thats all we do but around other people she dont know she just gets so mean. But i think i might go to pet co and get some training classes
