That is a very good question, as I am having the same problem. My pomeranian barks at anything and everyting and it is so annoying. I have tried different things, and nothing has phased her, not even bitter apple. I thought at least she would stop after she gets a taste of it, but she doesn't. My other dog will bark too, but not as much as my pom. I would give anything if they would just stop their barking. They bark the worst, when people ring the doorbell, as they both go bonkers lol. I guess I need the dog whisperer to help me lol.

i guess almost every dog are like that , i working with a pet magazine they shoot pet , they can't really behave them self, but some they bring the dog to school can see the behavior is really difference .does your dog go school? if no is better to bring him to school.

I ´m afraid she´s too old to be trained not to bark in those cases although you should be happy as you have a very good watchdog. Even If she does nothing but bark, she will keep away people who might not be of your liking
