pavlov checks into the chat to explain why bells and dog reactions are a thing...
Every single interaction my dog has ever experienced with someone coming to the door has been positive, so Pavlov doesn't explain why my dog (and most all dogs) go Murder-Mode when someone is at the door.

I had a 3/4 English Mastiff and a 1/4 Cur. Bred to be a hog dog, or something like that. frick the cur. She barked at everything, but would let children climb on her and sleep on her without a care in the world. She was 110lbs of love and that quarter cur ruined her ability to remain quiet. Didn't matter her level of training. The mastiff listened. The cur didn't. Great dog besides her mouth

Ah...you need to read up on the whole Pavlov thing...it's not about what sort of response it's about the trigger to the response

Again. As an owner. YOU need to be trained.
My dog will look to me in an any social situation if he can do this or that. He stands by me no matter what is going on. I put in hours and hours. He is amazing.

The dog is trained. I say "lay down" and she stops whatever she's doing, even if already laying down, and goes to her kennel. Yeah I've seen all the Ceasar Milan's. I have owned many a dog. I'm not a dog noob.

Maybe you are a yankee that doesn't know what this means.

My dogs bark sets off the glass break sensor in the house. Not all the time though.

It's not a pavlov's dog situation. The dogs are in some cases reacting to a noise that they have never heard before (doorbell) from the tv. Or perhaps they have heard a doorbell noise from the tv alone, but can not associate it with a visitor. It would be like pavlov ringing the bell for the first time and the dogs salivate.

It’s the matrix… dogs are programmed to respond to doorbells it seems. They all do.
Side note:
My previous two labs (RIP) “waited in wait” for doorbell to ring. They didn’t even notice the tv existed.
Whereas our new 4 month old lab pup stops and stares at the TV in certain circumstances specifically if there’s a steady talking face on tv/podcast. She really doesn’t like it and starts barking at it. It’s actually quite fascinating. I guess she’s a Gen-Z lab.

Mine barks at stickfiguresque dogs on the tv that aren’t even barking. frick that GMC commercial with the Bernese or whatever grizzly looking dog. He’s caused me a lot of problems during nap time this holiday season.

I trained my 80 pound Pit/Husky mix to STFU as a puppy. If he barks out the front window, someone is there. If I check it out and there's no threat, I tell him then he forgets it.

Another thought. My dog, and every dog I've ever had, absolutely loves visitors. Will even piss in excitement and exuberance upon the visitor's crossing of the threshold. Why then is every door knock or doorbell a Satan Alarm, when every single time it's a friendly encounter?
My sweet boy will sprint to the door barking his arse off, then get upset if the person doesn’t immediately start petting him when they walk inside. Smartest dog I’ve ever had, but somehow can’t put together that the two might be related

What made "Chewy" use doorbells in their commercials? It's a PETFOOD retailer and they put a DOORBELL on their commercial. I had a dog at the time and I hoped the marketing team got a Jelly-of-the-Month Christmas bonus. Morons.

It's probably the same dummies that decided to put siren sounds in radio commercials.

My dog goes batshit murder mode when someone dares to say "check the mail", or opens the latches on the kitchen window above the sink. She's gotten worse as she gets older. (5 year old Australian Shepherd)

I dont know why dogs run to the doorbell. It's almost never for them.
