🐶 Does the doorbell send your dog into full alarm mode every single time? That's just natural territorial instinct kicking in, but it can get overwhelming fast for you and the neighbors.

A few things that help: gradually desensitize them to the doorbell sound at low volume and reward calm behavior, teach a solid ‘sit’ or ‘place’ command for when guests arrive, and never yell while they're already barking — it usually just amps them up more. Patience plus well-timed treats is the real secret.
