Barking You have to nip it in the bud..now!
Pick her up, tell her NO. Don't let her run away. Confront the behavior and tell her No. Put her in another area for a time out..let her learn bad behavior gets a negative reaction from you.
When you know people are coming, have her in your arms and you correct her then..if they are running around barking, it is hard to get their attention.
You are wise to recognize a bad pattern is developing.
She sounds insecure right now..it is good to flood them with lots of noise also..make sure the house is not quiet, so they get used to noises.
Did you get her from a breeder who does not socialize them in a house type kennel..noise, people, attention etc.
