How to train to bark

[Cadillac08]

my boxer will be 1 on january 21st. he doesnt bark at all..don't know why?? i guess to everyone else thats a good thing but i want him to bark when he hears people coming to the door or when he sees strangers. i read that boxer's are protective of their family but he isn't?? are their any ways to train him to bark??

well what i've found that works is getting him really excited. When he starts barking or making noise, praise him with attention and treats. Hopefully soon he'll learn that when he barks, he gets rewarded and eventually he'll do it on command
