Recap from this lesson

Turning “INTRUDER ALERT!” Into “No Big Deal”
Dogs naturally react to doorbells and knocks—it’s their way of announcing visitors! This training helps them stay cool and collected instead of barking up a storm.
What to Expect
Short & Sweet: 5–10 minutes, 3–5 times a week makes a big impact.
No Stress If You Miss a Day: Just pick up where you left off!
Keep It Fun: Happy energy + tasty treats = a dog that wants to stay calm.
Step-by-Step Training Guide
1️⃣ Start Soft & Slow
Play a light doorbell sound or knock gently.
Free sound clips online work great!
2️⃣ Reward Calmness
If your dog stays quiet or settles quickly, mark with “Yes!” and give a treat.
Fast rewards teach them that staying chill = good things!
3️⃣ Increase the Challenge
Gradually turn up the volume or knock a bit louder.
Always reward calm behavior immediately to reinforce progress.
4️⃣ Practice Daily
Repetition is key—small, consistent sessions create lasting habits.
Paw Tip: If your dog gets too worked up, take a step back and lower the difficulty—success builds confidence!
