It's on TV
One of the things I taught my Cairn Terriers merely by accident was the command, "It's on TV". My Cairns dislike the sound of sirens and have trouble distinguishing our doorbell or phone ringing from those they hear on TV.
"I like getting brushed. It makes me feel pretty, and once a month I get a treat they call Heartguard when I'm being brushed. Cool!"

So if we are watching TV and they start to bark or puff suspiciously, all I say is "It's on TV" very calmly and they settle down quietly. I really don't know how they learned this other than the fact that I said it calmly like it was no big deal and didn't get up to let them out. Of course each time they did it and it really was on TV, this is what I said and did. Consistency and repetition is the most effective way to successfully train a Cairn.
It is simple things like this that we humans wouldn't notice at all that they quickly absorb and remember every time.
