I'm very interested in the kind of replies you get because I have a 2 year chihuahua that I've had since she was 8 weeks old and I can't get her socialized. She barks endlessly at whoever comes to the house, she will quiet down once people are sitting but soon as they make a move the barking starts.

On walks she will ignore people that pass by (unless they say something to me or her while she is close to home, then the barking starts), but if she's being walked on our street and a dog passes, she barks and lunges at it, on the other hand if she's further away from home such as at the park, and sees a dog she becomes very fearful and will not move until the dog passes. Her behavior is embarrassing and the only thing socializing has done is get her used to folks she sees on a regular basis. I just don't know what else to do and hope that someday she will get tired of the barking.
