I think it's a matter of consistency with them as well. I remember one time I was watching Dog Whisperer and it was an episode about someone whose Chihuahua had an uncontrollable bark. I fell asleep and woke up to see the credits rolling up the screen. I was so angry because I like trying Ceasar's advice. But now, what I do is that when I hear someone at the door and I see her ears go up, I snap my fingers and she knows not to make any sudden moves. When she attempts again to bark or run to the door I grab her collar gently and say no. She'll cooperate when I'm there. But when no one is there to train her, she's like a mad dog. Poor thing. She has swears she ferocious.
