I have several dogs, all with their own stuff but E is the one I figure I should address first. E just barks whenever she sees someone when she's at home. She's a midsized pitbull mutt. The main issue is when someone comes to the door, when someone goes outside to greet them E will immediately start barking. Rhythmically and in the same tone over and over. I send her to her bed and she just barks from there. I send her to the opposite side of the house and she just keeps doing the same bark from there. She reacts to commands, but will not stop barking. She stops when the person outside leaves but I can't figure out a way to get her to stop before then besides spraying her. I spray E and she lays down in the bed, ears up but otherwise relaxed in posture. I use spray bottles around the house so I don't think there's too big a chance of her viewing them as a purely disciplinary device but I know a lot of people disagree with the use of them longterm. Any advice or opinions? She's leash trained well and doesn't bark on walks, this is just a home issue.
