I work in a small office of eight people, one of whom bought a Cockapoo puppy a year ago. InFor the main it'smost part it has been a great set-uppositive addition to the office (for Twiglet and for us--we love walking and playing with him), but recently we've been having a problem that we're finding difficult to solve, made worse by some people in the office not being 'dog people'.

THE PROBLEM

Recently Twiglet's been getting very territorial. I think that's the right word. He barks uncontrollably at anything he sees moving out of the window (the windows on the first floor of the office go down to floor/dog-level) and people coming to the door downstairs (glass door).

It's becoming something of a problem: we need a professional atmosphere and at the moment all our visitors are accosted by a barking furball when they ring the doorbell!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.How can we correct this behavior?

How can we discourage territorial behaviour in a dog at the workplace?
