okay, so we have two dogs at our office, mine, which is a doxie min pin mix, and she goes home and to work with me every day. I don't have a problem with her. we have another dog at work, who is a larger mixed breed, (we're thinking lab/rottie/shepard/something else mix) who is the sweetest thing. he was a stray, and he kind of adopted our office as his new home. we've taken him to the vet, shots, he's getting fixed in a couple of months, etc... and we all feed him and take care of him, he stays inside at night ect.
okay, the wierd thing is, he's great when people come in, very loving, and an all around great dog. now, the problem lies when people leave the office, mainly clients, mailman, etc. he starts going nuts when they get in their cars to leave, barking and going on, like he's trying to protect us, but not sure how.... lol
is there any way anyone knows of to teach him to protect from pleople coming up to the building, not the ones that are leaving???? thanks!!

If your dog is anything like my fiance's "brother," he may not be trying to be protective. Some dogs get upset when people they like leave the room or building, and bark. ("Hey! Why are you leaving me?") If he's not growling, that's probably why he barks. If you figure out how to reassure him, let us know!

It sounds like your dog doesn't want those people to leave because he likes them being around , try to distract him , play with a ball, take to another area of the office, etc., when these people leave so he isn't so aware of it. Maybe that will help. Good luck.
