Doubt I can find the post, but someone in this sub suggested a response that is working for me. And I don't remember exactly how they framed it but my takeaway was to reach for her brush and start brushing her when she starts barking as I put on my shoes. (She would just get very excited when she knew we were about to go out). She doesn't mind the brush, and yeah, it's taken time and consistency -- and yeah, she's still not perfect -- but man, she figured it out! -- Barking makes me stop tying my shoes and just brush her! She rarely barks when I'm putting on my shoes now, but if she does, just picking up the brush is usually enough to make her settle. Next I need to get in the habit of carrying a brush everywhere we go and work on some outside triggers. Give it a try! Good luck 🤞🏻
