How do we train our Sheltie to be confident and not afraid of other people?
We have a very sweet Sheltie, but only around family. She tends to growl and bark at strangers when they pass by. Luckily we have a fenced in yard, but she gets in the zone and chases people and cars when they pass. We’ve tried everything, hired a trainer, and have been consistent with the [...]

Also does it bite them if the person gets to far into the property or does it just warn you and run off?
