I think there is something about the presence of a dog trainer. They know how to control their heartbeat and everything so dogs don't get stressed out. a lot of times when owners try to train their dog, they are so frustrated or confused that they just get upset, which upsets the dog.
Dog trainers are a blessing lol.
The same technique won't work for every dog. She needs to try hundreds of different things. Maybe she'll have to make some up herself! Tucker used to be a horrible barker. Whenever he heard something outside he'd bark for 15 minutes straight. We realized that to make him stop barking, we need to LET him bark, then say "Thank you Tucker." and he'll stop. Its crazy how things work sometimes, but she needs to explore her options!
