i think that is great. They are going to learn that whoever they are DYING to see is not coming in until they are quiet. And when they are quiet they get a treat AND get loved on by the person coming in.. That's great. But keep in mind.. if they start barking again.. she should go back outside and start again. good luck and keep us posted!
