Hi

Keep going with the training - she wont change over night - it'll take a while to get used to new situations. Try and introduce her to lots of new places - walk her in different places. She just need to learn that new things wont hurt her. Puppy classes should help with the socializing. get different people to stroke her to, i know the barking can be embarassing but just ignore it - the more attention you give her for doing it the more she'll do it.

as for following you around - she needs to become a little less dependant on you - so when she follows you if its inconivent just ignore - dont give her the attention - and dont respond to the howling - if she gets really bad with it then jus give her a simple 'no'

hope some of this might be of help - just be patient she'll get there - she just still a baby.

susie and the gang.
