Hi all, We have a Staf about 6 years old. We've had her for about a year. We take her out for walks daily and feed her with both wet and dry food.

Whenever the door bell goes, she barks aggressively and runs to the door. As soon as someone walks in she jumps up at them constantly!! She's never bitten anyone before (thankfully) just jumps up at them and barks! She may look like she's about to bite you, but she doesn't.

Please, please, please if anyone has any advice, please let me know as she is becoming a bit of a nuisance. A lot of our friends and family does not want to come over because of our dog!!:crying:
