*** I really hope that we don't go so far as to believe that if our dogs growl or bark at a person -- that that person is not a nice person. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Some dogs bark at all strangers - some at men - some at women - some at children - some on Wednesdays - some on Fridays - etc. etc. etc.
My dogs bark at the yardworkers early in the spring - the first time they come - and then don't bark the rest of the summer.
My dogs will bark at any strange dog that is running around the neighborhood - but the minute they meet any dog - they become fast friends and will run right up to them and want to play.
*** Perhaps even in this case, if that same lady came over several times, the dogs would soon pay no attention to her. It may have been something simple that set one of these dogs off - perhaps she was carrying something that it felt threatened by. Did she have a briefcase or something like that?
Anyway - dogs bark at nice people too........
