Barks like crazy but will quieten down when they're in - as long as they come in with one of us. I don't think he'd let anyone in without us there!

Dixie always barks when someone knocks on the door - they are all then put into the spare room and then once guests are settled they come out.

I don't do that cause it might be someone I don't want at the door. Dempsey barks, but I've taught him to sit until he's told otherwise. He's also not allowed to jump up at people anyway.

Mine tend to bark once like they are startled and them go back to sleeping and farting. People tend to be disapointed that the dogs aren't more interested in them. Very rarely do they get excited or even care when someone comes in. Kinda strange I know but I have tried to train them to stay calm in the house.
My kids on the other hand...

We tend to put them in their create for a short while when visitors turn up till they calm down a little simply as they would jump all over visitors given the chance. An its a nightmare trying to greet your visitors while trying to keep them in their bed.

They never bark just because the door has been knocked though, they just want to get attention and fuss off the visitor. In fact Duke has only ever barked about 4 times in his life so far. Normally when it shocks him, like when I fell down the stairs late at night when I was drunk after a night out.

Or a couple of times when someone has popped out of nowhere when on a walk, even then its a quick one bark and done.

Barks at knock at the door. Runs to see who it is. If its someone he knows or a woman he'll greet them,
and if its someone he doesnt know then he'll bark until they apologize for disturbing him Laughing

When someone knocks on the door they both bark, but Chance growls and bares his teeth at the door, They both go behind the baby gate next to the main door and next to me. Chance will continue to growl and air snap at nothing unless told to be quiet

If Maddie is asleep she may well ignore it, or bark once.

Once they come in however...she does a good impersonation of a kangaroo (she is behind a baby gate) then, if allowed out she greets them like long lost friends, even if she has never met them before.

If I'm in he will bark at the door and then try and jump up and greet the person at the door whether he knows them or not. The postwoman now loves him and always spends a minute petting him. Friends who have called when I'm out but Storm is in say he doesn't make a sound... Total fail as an effective guard dog. Laughing

Ella never barks even though we have tried to train her to bark at noises etc but she does bounce all over any visitors making sure she licks them clean before getting comfy Smile

Ledger really isn't bothered he has never barked and if he hears the door or letter box he only moves off the sofa if I do. For postmen/deliveries/unplanned callers I have a gate between the front and back rooms so that he can see who ever is there (and they can see him). I am trying to sell my house so if there are any viewings he is kept in his crate any one else I think he would probably expect the same cuddles as he gets from me although I am slowly breaking through with his 'sit for fuss' when I come home

We have a baby gate so Maddie does kangaroo impersonations behind it when someone visits. She would bounce all over them given half a chance though doh

Kenny cant wait to jump and kiss all vistors. He'll then scamper around to pick up anything he can find and just trot around with it in his mouth, going back and foe, dropping it by their feet , as if to say, "please chase me, i want to play" and not forgeting the very wiggley bum Big Grin
