Would that cause her to stop barking at 'people'? She sounds like a
combination pit bull/doberman , everytime someone comes near the yard -- I
like 'that'. Our fence is very tall concrete block walls completely around
the back and side yards. No-one can see that she is actually 'small'; her
barking at 'people' is imporatnt.
She is also stubborn, she will quit barking at someone walking up the front
sidewalk if I tell her a certain word --now ,if they get close to the porch,
she goes crazy, I can't stop her except to pick her up and physically remove
her to another room. If I were not in the back yard with hwer, would she
still be afraid of the hose? She is not 'real' old, she celebrated her
fourth birthday on Halloween
