Default Re: Dog barking at people through the window

I had a similar situation. My dog is usually very calm and quiet but she just one day started barking at people outside who she either saw out the window or when she was on the balcony.

To stop her I got a water bottle and put some small stones inside and when she would bark I would shake the bottle and this would distract her and make her stop. This helped a lot. Another thing I would do if she started barking is say in a firm loud voice NO and then I would shut the blinds or bring her back inside if she was on the balcony. If she would become really aggressive or wouldn't listen to me I would put her in her kennel for a time out. You just have to be consistant and every time your dog does this he gets the same consiquence. My dog learned quickly and she doesn't bark at people anymore.

Your dog getting aggressive to the point where she bites you is serious. I recommend that as soon as you see her becoming aggresive to get her under control and calm her down as soon as possible before it escalates and put her in a kennel. If you don't have one I recommend it; they are benficial in many ways. You can teach her the command kennel so you don't have to go near her if she becomes aggressive and could bite you so she will go in by herself. I tought my dog this command and when I tell her kennel she goes in by herself. It might also help to socialize you dog more and get her used to people.

I hope that helps! Good Luck!
