I'm waiting patiently for this to get reply's - GOOD post

(that sounds like a pain especially for something as important as building a house)
when Chanel turned 2 she became the boss of the house (in her mind of course)

& very protective of me. I HAVE to hold her when someone comes in - but she barks at them also. I've tried all I know to stop this ....and
most of me can't blame her for this - since my husband became sick I don't have people over like we used too....

but a part of me knows this is wrong and I shouldn't have to take special measures for a small dog who is NOT The boss of the house - I should be able to train her NOT to do this but so far - nothing worked for me either.
May I add - We had workers in the house not too long ago - and when I had to leave to get something for them - she was a complete angel. I got back - and she was back in Boss Mode.
