So, say you are walking and you see someone coming towards you and your pup starts to bark. You would stop, put yourself between your dog and the person walking, say "focus" and treat the dog if she watches you and quits barking (or something along those lines). Something else I have seen is to have other people give your dog a treat so your dog gets the idea that others are friends and not enemies. Good luck with the training!

Good advice! And if treats don't work, try a toy.
