My dog does the same thing! it is especailly annoying when people go buy on a bike or jogging, I live in a track and there are always people going by! Well, you can try trainin gihm not to bark. Take him out on a leash and when someone goes by hold the leash short and keep him close to you. tell him no barking. You will probably have to repeat this excersise many times for awhile until he seems to understand. I should train my dog too, but we never have the time… Good luck!

I think the best thing to do is watch the Dog Whisperer. He gives a lot of useful tips. Maybe even go on the show!

put him in the backyard or buy a big fence where he cant see anybody

If your dog is a barker, it should be fairly easy to train her not to bark. And being a healer, they are really smart dogs, and benefit from training, as well as loving to learn something new.

First, teach your dog “speak”, Reward your pup when she speaks on your command ie, a small bit of chicken or other good quality treat. Repeat this for a couple of days, to really make sure she got it.

Now that you have trained speak, train “quiet”. Have her attention, and when she stops barking, say your command “quiet”, and if she is quiet, reward her. This is a bit more difficult, but just persist.

Now you should be able to do both speak and quiet. Lots of treats, and lots of love when she is behaving as you want her to.

Give your dog a petting for me.

They make products that delivers small shocks to dogs for barking, if your serious, and desperate about making her stop, this is the product for you.

I have the same exact problem…Your dog may need more attention or exercise. Whenever she starts barking, look at her and say NO! or STOP! or something…do it consistently…take her on more walks outside…and never get frustrated at her…Just be stern in your voice and look when she barks

Be very persistent in tell the dog no or any one word command that when she hears you say it she will recognize the command, this may become a hassle for you but it will work.
