Barking at the front door
My Border Collie mix, Mickey was never socialized very well (I've had her 2 years now and she's about 11) and barks at people and I'm working on this with her. However, when I'm in the living room working on my computer, I often leave the door open and she can look out the screen door. Even if she spies someone way up the cul-de-sac, she barks. She barks at the neighbor getting their paper. She barks at someone she just saw 2 minutes ago. In other words, she feels she needs to alert me every time she sees anything. I'm fine with her doing this TO A DEGREE as I know people will think twice before trying to break in. But I feel she should stop barking after I command her but she doesn't. I call her to me and make her stay but eventually she'll want to get up.
Any ideas? Also, how do you get the title to be bold when posting?
Thanks!
