ok i have a 2yr old min/pin chihuahua mix and hes currently working with a trainer on his fear aggression issues... hes so great to me and people hes used to but strangers and other dogs he goes mad on! soooo when people come over he barks like crazy.. we got him a gentle leader collar which has helped and he will calm down while their there but when they leave he barks and follows them out like an ankle bitter. i dont get it.. he even does it to my roommate who he loves.. but he dosent to it to me... its not a seperation anxiety thing or he would to it to me and have trouble after people are gone.. but he just follows them out all mean and snipping then when the door closes he is totally calm.. i feel so bad for my company and my roommate.. its really frustrating and i cant always be there to stop him.. like if im sleeping and she heads out... ugh what can i do

Your dog believes that it is his job to protect his territory, and he takes his job very seriously! It is good for them to have a job because it is fulfilling, but it can also be annoying. Try a tin can with a few coins inside, when he chases after your guests, rattle the can. It will get his attention, stop the chase, and after a few times he will get the message that he is not to do that.
Good luck.

Sorry, that's the Chihuahua part in him and we have had to just live with it or lock him up in a bedroom. He stilled barked, but at least it was muffled. I don't know any other Chihuahua owners who ever had much success either!

Get a spray bottle. Fill it with plain water and give him a couple of squirts when he misbehaves. And a loud "NO"
