Adrienne, Thank you so much for all the great information. We adopted a few of your suggestions - taking a break from throwing the ball and introducing a puzzle toy (filled with her breakfast) to occupy her - and the results were amazing - no barking whatsoever! I'm still working on her barking at the house and at strangers, but hopefully over time (and with your information), those behaviors will lessen (or disappear) too 🙂 Thanks again! Danielle

Hi! I have a 7 month old chocolate lab named Lily. My husband owns his own business and has a large area where he meets his crew every morning. He takes Lily with him each morning and will play fetch with her, but lately she's gotten very demanding and barks so much (to have the ball thrown) that he can't even talk to his crew. What can we do to address this issue? Also, she's becoming very vocal over noises in and outside of the house, knocks at the door, strangers she sees on walks, etc - it's becoming a big issue for us. Thanks!
