those blue eyes pierce me, commanding my attention 
Yeah, you're so pretty, Daisyduke.
I dunno what to tell you though - my dog barks like crazy when someone comes to the door, too. Dogs are supposed to bark though...and wouldn't you prefer that it barks when someone comes to the door? It makes me feel more protected, lol, especially when I'm home alone at night.

You are brave to say that to Jason Voorhees.
Just feed the dog some taco bell and it will be barking out of its ass.

We have a min pin that is almost a year old. She only barks when someone comes to the door, rings the doorbell, knocks on the door or when someone on TV rings the doorbell, knocks on the door, etc. When she was little she used to bark at new people constantly, even after they were in the house and sitting down. Min Pins think they are big, bad ass dogs, so they are just trying to protect you and since they are so small, they use their bark to intimidate. We just started smacking her on the nose when she was barking and telling her "no". She learned pretty quickly for us. We are getting a new pup in a few weeks. A male min pin this time.

you want the dog to bark when someone comes to the door, but you need to work on training her that when you say enough, then by god that's f@*king enough.
try a shock collar. At one point my dogs where digging out of my yard and into my neighbors yard, but with the help of my friend "electricity" the problem is solved. Usually you only need to light them up a few times and they get the hint. By the way it scares them more than it hurts them.

By now that may be your only option seeing how you're clearly not one of those "super-dog-expert-trainers".
Option #1 - Keep on the dog and be unwavering in your discipline. Remember, let it bark a little, then warn it, then discipline it (strongly). Do this EVERY, EVERY, EVERY TIME, until is stops (could take months). Your dog MUST know you are in command whether it is protecting you or not. You have to STAY ON IT constantly! Reward him when it works and he stops barking (but randomly, not every time - faster results with random re-enforcement). Restrain your dog, show him YOU are boss.
Option #2 - Remote shock collar. Similar to above but use the shock for the discipline. The shock collars that go off only when it barks are shit. Get the remote control one over the bark control one....trust me!
Option #3 - Snap it's neck like the little battery operated rat-dog that it is, skin it carefully and strip the meat from the bone. Using a wok on high heat and a bit of cooking oil with hot peppers, stir fry the meat strips till cooked and serve over steamed rice. If it's to your taste add a wee bit of ginger to the oil prior to adding the dog-meat.

My old Shepard Turbo (he's gone now) would be great...Whenever any uninvited asshole knocked on the door, (local politician, girl scout selling cookies, delinquent selling magazines) he would go nuts. I would answer the door with him right next to me, holding his collar while he is barking and wanting to eat whoever was at the door.
They never got very deep into the sales pitch when I would say, "I don't know how long I can hold him."
But griz1's #1 is the only option. You have to train the dog. There are no bad dogs, only bad owners.

That's awesome. When all the people were coming door to door for presidential pitches, some poor girl stopped at our house to pitch the guy we didn't like. My lil dog was barking up a storm and then pissed on her shoe. I had to laugh. Then I told her I was voting for the other guy and she left.
We have been considering the shock collar for our lil min pin too, but to my knowledge, they don't have any small enough yet for the toy dogs. We don't need it for the barking, but when she sneaks out the door and takes off through-out the neighborhood. Lil bitch. A few zaps should solve that.

Min Pins and Dachsunds (sp?) are some the most incessant barking dogs I've ever been around. I've dated two different girls who owned weenie dogs and those fuckers went fucking ape shit everytime I came over. I fucking hated them. I tried to befriend them, but that was like trying unionize walmart....impossible.
I'm sure that w/ some hardcore discipline they can be conditioned.

shock collar. works wonders.
At puppy school they spray dogs with water if they bark. That's what we do at home. It works great if you have a dog that's not keen on water (some water dogs like labs don't mind it much).
The best thing to do otherwise is kennel the dog for the first 5-10 minutes that another person is at your house. That way it sees the person and can't do much. Don't let it out until it's calm.
