I'm Dogsitting for the Christmas Holidays.

[Bill]

He does not like the door bell. We've also had some incidents.....fence eaten, dishes knocked off sink, exploratory surgery on a chew toy, a major bowel resection on my car wash sponge, several chewed up items, etc.

And he does NOT like the cat. Fuzz has PTSD by now.

No doorbell here but my Neo never barked when someone knocked on the front door. Lucky for them they didn't walk in without an invitation. She didn't mess around targeting extremities, always went for disembowelment. A real force of nature that one.

Dogsit today, dogshit tomorrow. :yesnod:

We disconnected the doorbell because it gets my dogs too wound up. Funny but occasionally one will ring on a TV show and they go off... :willy:

:lol: That's right up there with barking at their own farts.

Same here! My neighbor had a grandchild literally on the way over Christmas and had to leave in a jiffy, so they asked me to look in on their doggos while they were away - I have the mid-afternoon and dinner “shifts”…I did a (very!) quick Christmas Day photo shoot using an old holiday bandanna I had. Griffin (black lab) is hard to grab a picture of (big lovable oaf with no attention span whatsoever) and Abby (old-lady chocolate lab) was less than amused, but both were good sports. Of course, I had to have Sadie model it as well. :angel: :angel: :angel:

Same as Lars here. Disconnected doorbells along with a sign not to knock on the door.
If you're not expected here nobody wants to talk to you.

Since moving off the acreage where it was very peaceful Wendel still hasn't got used to the sounds of having neighbours. From car doors closing to garbage cans rolling up and down driveways next door he's on spaz mode all day. I make sure and turn the tv to hide the noises.

Ringo has killed at least three delivery drivers this year,,,

How Pavlovian. :lol:

How Pavlovian. :lol:

:iagree:

The dogs trained Larry to disconnect his doorbell. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Had a dog years and years ago that would go full bat shit crazy when the gas man knocked on the door to read the meter. He hated that guy with a passion, he was the friendliest dog I've ever had. He seldom ever barked and never showed a tooth to anyone but that meter reader was gonna die. Doorbell didn't bother him nor fireworks, he was mellow as could be.

We had a long hair Chihuahua from 2001-2011. When we first got him as a pup, there was a show on called Win Ben Steins Money with Ben and Jimmy Kimmel.

When questions were answered correctly the bell sounded like a doorbell and Maxx would go off on it for a half hour

Smallest dog I ever owned was a Cockapoo (mid-80's). Named her Pucka because she looked like a hockey puck. Was so tiny at first that I'd hold her in the palm of my hand to give her a bath.

Two years later I couldn't take the dog out for walks around the neighborhood anymore because she attacked every other dog on sight. Wathing Dobermans run from this little 10 inch dog was absolutely hilarious. The one thing she loved most in life was chasing frisbees. Even if they were larger than her. You could toss a garbage can lid and she'd find a way to bring it back to you :rofl:
