It's got so bad I am considering putting notes through the neighbours doors to apologise for the noise but to bare with us as we are trying to train her!!
I swear to God she just likes the sound of her own voice. She barks at the back door and when I open it she runs away. If I leave the door open (thinking maybe she has a thing about closed doors) she still barks. I know it's an attention thing and I try to wait for a break in the a barking to praise her for being quite but it never happens
- I know it's a bit extreme but you read about people poisoning peoples nuisance dogs, I'm terrified if she carries on something like that could happen or they could report us to RSPCA - it really is that bad. I am at a loss what to do - the next step I think is going to be a dog behaviourist to give their professional opinion. I am the first the admit that we will need training aswell but it's where to start - any suggestions welcome 
...Ambrose used to bark and whine even if I went to the loo....he barks if someone comes to the door, he barks if any of the family arrive and it is deafening...it makes my ears ring 
My lab Barney barks if anyone sets foot in our courtyard and it is very annoying. With him I say thankyou, that's enough, and reward him and he knows that he has to stop then, but he is 11 so he's had time to get the hint 
She said immediately "Pet Corrector Spray" and produced a can from her pocket. It is about £5 for a small bright red can of noise or £10 for a big one. She said to let the dog let you know someone was at the door and then you say your word to make her stop ie shush or quiet and give a quick squirt of the spray which should interrupt the behaviour at which point you praise like mad. 
) as all I have to do is show Parker the red can and he stops when I say "shush".
