And then I left.
I have tried to get boobah to stop barking but short of hitting her I dont know what to do. Ive tried collars, sprays, putting "good dog" in her water, etc. I guess I just got a troubled dog. She has been with me for a year.
Should I go to a trainer? Obedience class? I only want her to stop her incessant barking. She gets in the front of dogs' faces and just starts barking and doesnt stop.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks,

Well, I know she's a dog and dogs bark, but I wouldn't like it if someone's dog constantly got in my dog's face and barked. I wouldn't allow one of my dogs to do that to anyone. Yes, a trainer would be a good idea. You might put a muzzle on her so she can't get her mouth open wide. My mother had a dog that barked constantly and putting a muzzle on her stopped it. She learned not to bark and didn't have to wear it long. People talk, but you wouldn't like it if someone got in your face and shouted.
