Unless you are going to be there to correct the behavior every time she does it, I doubt you can get her to stop. She is still a pup, however and may grow out of it. In the meantime get a bell...a good sized one with a ring that can be heard....not one of those tiny tinkly ones. Goldens need to be working, learning things and getting lots of exercise every day in order to be well adjusted, happy dogs. "A good dog is a tired dog"
