Doesn't matter though. Their spidey sense tingles as soon as someone walks by, if they turn up the driveway it's bark-a-palooza. Luckily, DD just learned to sleep through it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414909 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:31:19 +0000 snowjewelz 1414909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No; if they knock she'd still bark! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414898 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:29:45 +0000 autumnlove 1414898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my dog barks when someone walks up to our house and my kids can usually sleep through the bell and barking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414882 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:27:10 +0000 purrpletulips 1414882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, our dog only barks for three reasons: there is construction equipment nearby, she sees a snowman or a scarecrow. Otherwise you would think she is mute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414870 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:24:43 +0000 Charm54 1414870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, our dog isn't a barker. In fact he's the absolute worst guard dog in the world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414849 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:20:58 +0000 BSB 1414849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Yup, same here. My dogs can hear their diesel trucks before they get to the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414845 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:19:46 +0000 Alivoo01 1414845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom adopted our dog years ago, but if he did live with us, yes. He barks like crazy at the doorbell, real or fake (aka tv). Thankfully, DS sleeps through the crazy barking, but it drives me up the wall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414799 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:10:46 +0000 kiddosc 1414799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it's pretty rare that anyone comes to the door. And she barks if someone knocks anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414765 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:03:07 +0000 mfa_lady 1414765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our doorbell doesn't work and our dogs STILL go insane! When someone's in the driveway, on the porch, knocking....they are a serious burglar alarm. (Or friend alarm...or mail alarm...or kids running down the street alarm...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414669 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 13:43:43 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1414669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh that's a brilliant idea... maybe we should! They go insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414608 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 13:33:56 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1414608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. They don't bark at the doorbell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414549 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 13:21:01 +0000 spaniellove 1414549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried putting up a sign asking people not to ring the doorbell but they decided that was an invitation to bang on the door, window, etc. That's no better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414545 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 13:19:56 +0000 mediagirl 1414545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, she barks if someone knocks, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414542 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 13:19:26 +0000 Dandelion 1414542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Only the UPS man uses our doorbell and they're alrwady barking him long before he pushes it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414518 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 13:15:09 +0000 yerpie110 1414518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one, but he'll bark long before a vistor gets to hitting the doorbell, so we haven't botthered having it disabled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414515 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 13:14:46 +0000 Mae 1414515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't plan to. My dog barks equally for doorbells and knocking at the door, so it wouldn't make a difference. But I'm seriously considering DIYing a door hanger to the effect of-- unless you're selling thin mints, don't knock on my door unless you want to get my kid back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414514 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 13:14:18 +0000 Adira 1414514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh... now I wonder if that's what the previous owners of our house did. They had dogs and our doorbell doesn't work. I wonder if it's disabled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414510 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 13:12:36 +0000 artsyfartsy 1414510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have one. We got one not long after we adopted our dog but no one ever used it and it's broken now. What's funny is he would still bark whenever he heard it even though we had never had one. I guess in his previous home they had a doorbell! Lol</p> <p>He barks at knocking anyway and he always knows when someone's here before they even knock because he sits in the living room window and watches the driveway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414505 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 13:11:54 +0000 bookwormmama 1414505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have one, but it wouldn't help anyways because our dog barks when he hears people outside our door. And he always barks at knocking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-dogs-did-you-disable#post-1414498 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 13:10:44 +0000 mrsjyw 1414498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>your doorbell?</p> <p>We always meant to, but never got around to it-- I think one of these days it warms up I'm going to have DH do it. But we'll see. </p>
