Okay, working backwards:
- I know this is preachy, but this is why you shouldn't spoil your dog - you end up with an annoying dog. Fortunately, you now have a good reason to stop spoiling her.
- Tissues. You don't mention how old she is. Most dogs love tissues and puppies will die for it. The easiest thing is to keep them out of harm's way.
- Chasing her up and down the street. Teach her to Sit/Stay at the door, and teach her the Come command in the park. If she does slip out, don't chase her, because that is a fun game. Turn and run away from her so she chases YOU.
- Barking. She sounds bored (and again, maybe young?). Get her more exercise and stimulate her mentally with obedience training.
Hope this helps!
