Addressing a barking.
Giving advice over the internet is always generic and doesn't need to fit your situation as I can't modify the training on the go when I can see the real-time interaction.
However like with any training it is good to understand the behaviour. When it happens, what happens before that, how long it takes, and what's the outcome.. Generally speaking, when we don't want to see something, ask yourself, what can my dog do instead?
I'm going to post a couple of videos of what I did with my barky dog. I ultimately want him to seak me aka recall to me...barking is normal behaviour, I will never want to suppress it, but I rather teach when it's enough. With consistency and repetition, we would create a habit. Eventually, when the dog sees his trigger, he will opt for the learned response (we taught him) instead of barking.
