I have the same problem with Lizzie. She now will go to my husband. We have had her a month. She is 5 months old now. She barks at everyone - including my grandkids....very hard for anyone to get close to her, because she runs away and bark, bark bark....I got my lunch bag (I started back working out outside this summer and take a lunch!) and it is kinda tall and she has barked at it every morning this week...I pick her up to show her, she sniffs it, then when I put her down the barking starts again??? Let me know if you solve your problem, and HOW you did it!!!!!
