My mini schanuzer has suddenly become very territorial.  She's barking constantly at any noise she can hear I can understand her btking at the door bell etc but she continues when I open the door and when the 'visitor' comes in the house and barks really until they leave!!  She barks if she can hear the neighbours in the garden and at my girls when they are on the trampoline!!  With the weather getting nicer I know that we will be spending more and more time in the garden and want to nip this in the bud to give ourselves and our surrounding neighbours a quiet summer!!

Any ideas??

p.s. She hardly ever barks whenever we are out and about, hence I think its a territorial thing???

LOL Must be something in the air :) Have a look at the thread barking at night...
