With pet owners staying at home more often, they begin to receive more visitors. Some of these visitors are delivery people whether for grocery, package, or takeout.
Your dog probably does not have a lot of interaction with other people because they are isolated from most humans. So it is natural that they bark at strange people.
Even if barking is your dog’s way to communicate, the incessant barking can hurt your ears. Even the delivery people can feel uncomfortable.
For the dog, any new person coming through the door is always an intruder. So he will bark to inform his human that an intruder wants to come in.
You can teach your pup that he does not have to bark anytime someone comes to the door. To do this, you can reward your dog when he stops barking at the stranger on the door. Giving the reward will tell the dog that not barking is good. Be consistent with this training. Anyone should follow do this routine.
A sudden change in your pet’s behavior should warrant a call to your animal hospital Ellicott City, MD.
