	Hi all! My DH and I just rescued a mini pin named Coco about a month ago. She is really well behaved in the house. I just have a couple of issues with her that I don't know how to handle. 1. She barks at anyone that comes to my house. She just doesn't like strangers. Any tips on how to stop or adjust this behavior? 2. When we take her out for walks she automatically barks at people and other dogs. Once she gets into this mode it is hard to break her out of it. What can we do? We live in an apartment building and its kinda tough when we go out with her and she goes all crazy at other dogs especially. I dont think she was socialized at all. Any tips and ideas will be greatly appreciated!
