Jessie was a barker when someone was at the door. As soon as she saw who it was, she would switch to her look of love, whether she knew the person, or not Very Happy Rolling Eyes

Once, my window cleaner climbed over the garden wall (I have no garden gate) rather than knock the front door as he thought I was out. The first I knew about him being in the garden was when Jessie was licking the window as she'd seen the water trickling down the window Rolling Eyes

PP & BB don't bark at all when someone knocks the door, they just wag a lot Very Happy

[if a gnat farts half a mile away.....] Loool Dirtychicken that made me smile (sorry) and has kind of made my mind up with this....

No....I don't want that to happen!

Thank you everyone!
Jules you're right of course about my choice of breed...but there is a lab opposite us who has barked for England since they brought it home as a pup. (6 weeks before Jess arrived) And a friend of mine has two German Shepherds, and they're as quiet as mice unless there's a deer nearby! Weird!

I wouldn't change a thing about Jess, EVERYONE loves her over-friendly nature (the postie takes her with him for a few doors some mornings lol)...it was more to utilise her new found voice - she didn't make a peep before the intruder incident. Now she's out there 'guarding' the garden daily, with little 'woofs', and the occasional full on bark at the local farmer in the surrounding fields. And she knows him!!!

OH prefers Coco-locos idea of the 'beware of the dog' sign....no risk! (But then he's not the 'girl' on her own in the house.....). Rolling Eyes

Might just play it by ear...the speed at which she runs to the front door is visually 'impressive' - but then as she's black the light would need to be on for anyone outside to see! Laughing [/quote]

If you combine the "beware of the dog" sign with one of the barking doorbells, you might be sorted Wink

I'll give you my terrier he sounds like the most vicious dog ever when the door goes !!! Jessie just looks at him with utter confusion ?

it seemed a good idea at the time with murphy but now I HATE him barking at the door, we did it by really winding him up every timwe the door went - like 'whats that' 'who is it' in a really 'go get it' type of voice.

I also taught him to bring me the mail, but one day i wasnt in and I suppose he didnt know what to do with it so shredded it and now this is what he does all the time Rolling Eyes

Lol I think your Jessie and my Jessie were out of the same mould! Perhaps wagging is scary to some and I should work on that Rolling Eyes
