Knock/Ring Doorbell and Reward
-
​We want to get your dog used to the sounds of knocking and other noises outside.
-
You can make quiet knocking noises inside the house just as we did, on the inside doors.
-
When your dog hears the knock, looks but doesn’t react then we can say “yes” and reward.
-
As they does well with each noise, increase the challenge each time by making the 'knocks' louder.
-
The most difficult noises for him are the door knock and doorbell and so this is the ultimate thing to practise on.
-
If you are doing the ‘knocking’ training and he does react, go back a few steps to where he could manage it.
-
Make sure to practice the knocking exercise every day. 2 x 5 mins a day at least
