We have someone we sold a wonderful pup to- when we sold him we had him trained on a down,sit ,stay and here. Very smart and well behaved dog. He is a year old now and the new owner said she takes him to her office (insurance office) everyday and he is wonderful but here lately when a stranger goes and turns to leave (he is fine when they are in the office)he begins barking quite a bit- I am concerned-but unsure of how agressive the barking is without witnessing- any ideas on what may have caused this reaction all of the sudden
while that is true, I myself prefer to try and figure out the reason for the barking and eliminate the cause, (for example anxiety) rather than the symptom.
Bark collar would certainly work.
However, I'd like to know if there is another answer to this problem. I have heard that dogs who bark at people who are leaving are fear barking/anxious. I could be wrong on this.
How old is the pup?
At certain ages, this is normal. It just depends.
Having people bring treats, and thus making them "Friend" rather than "Foe" may make a difference.
Sounds like he's a little on the sharp side.
Is the pup out of this litter:

the only thing I don't understand about her is her fear of the indoors- she hates to be inside. It took me weeks to get her to come in my office willingly- i just left the door open from our garage to our office and set her ball in the hallway so eventually she would come in on her own-but other places she would just rather not go in.
Regardless, it isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Making people coming and going a more positive experience, as well as marking and rewarding for "quiet" may make a big difference.

I'd be interested in knowing, as well. You make a valid point that reminds me of the small breed that "chases" the stranger away.

More good points. Duke seems to have started coming into his aggression and is somewhat sharp. My usual long story short, my mom came over last weekend for the first time in a few months and Duke didn't like the new presence in the house (we don't have many visitors). I was actually surprised by his level of aggression at ~26 weeks. A few minutes and hot dog pieces later, he was completely comfortable with her.
I know this is somewhat old- I just wanted to reply after being out of commission. No the dog I am speaking of is not out of that litter. He is about 15 months old.
We gave her some tips like the treats from customers- I have not been able to check back with her- we just lost my mother in law so we have had a lot to take care of.
