Dog Lovers Manual

Your dog views your home and garden as his ‘pack’s’ territory. For this reason, he will sound the alarm by barking when non-pack members intrude into his/your space.

While you want your dog to alert you to unwanted visitors, his barking at every person who comes to the door, such as regular delivery people, or who walks past the house can become a real nuisance. Introducing your dog to milk and post delivery people will teach him that they are ‘friends’ not ‘foes’ (getting them to give him treats is a good idea) and may help to cure the problem.
