Sometimes they can be so stubborn!

We got a new neighbor last summer and he has a young Pittie who is just brimming with energy and loves everybody. Whenever he takes his Pittie out to toss her a ball Sophie has to make a beeline to the fence and bark and bark. I wish I could make her understand that that’s very rude and they are good guys who are our neighbors. The last few times I told her “NO!” very sternly and she did back off but had to get the last bark in, so to speak. But every single time they are out, she does this. I hate to discourage her barking at strangers, but they are our neighbors who have lived there almost a year now.
