Thank you soooo much for that advice! I will have to keep treats with me. My husband said that she senses it when I tense up because I get nervous when she starts to bark. I guess I'm afraid that people will hear her barking and think she is this mean dog, but that couldn't be further from the truth. She is the most loving, precious dog in the world. She loves the immediate family, and they adore her! I will also take it slow like you said. Sometimes I have the problem of wanting something fixed yesterday, and that is something I need to work on for myself (and Belle). I appreciate your time, and will keep you posted on her progress. Have a safe 4th of July!
