I took my gal to Pet Smart training for help and she passed all the sit, stay, down etc but no help with the barking. Only thing that stops is to pick up a newspaper at the moment and shake it or whop her with it. She runs like she is scared. Then starts barking again. Every time my husband comes in or goes out she barks at him! He won't carry a paper with him but I can tell her I'm leaving and she has to stay and she doesn't bark. But, if it thunders she will get us up all hours barking at it!

My male is not that way but I didn't raise him from a puppy. This has been a big problem ever since she was a puppy! I even called the breeder to get help and know it is probably all my fault.

I've tried water guns and even banging on something loud and say no bark!
