Every time my boyfriends family comes over you can’t get my dog to stop barking, but she doesn’t bark at our friends. Also she barks at his mom and little brother and she sees them everyday, its like she forgets who they are. is there any way i can keep her from barking at them.

Shock collar!
whenever she barks it probably means she’s excited to see them. if she starts barking and won’t stop when you tell her to take her into a room away from all the people and waither there for about 10 min or until shes calmed down. that show her that if she wants to be with other people that she can’t bark.
you can either get a shock collar or now they make collars that don’t shock your dog but makes them not bark

I liked Mandie’s answer. It pretty much said what I would say, and what I do when my puppy won’t stop barking. I just wanted to share this website with you; it has lots of info on barking dogs. Good luck!

The best route to get your dog to stop barking at your boyfriend’s family is to train her when and when not to bark. Dogs have a natural instinct to bark – it’s their voice – but just as the class chatterbox needs to be taught when it’s the right time to speak, so does your pup!
Try rewarding her with a treat when she barks at an appropriate time – i.e. when a stranger walks by your house, or when an unfamiliar dog is on your lawn. Command her to stop using “quiet” and give her a treat as soon as she stops barking.
This training may take some time and consistency but hopefully it’ll prevent your boyfriend’s family from boycotting visits to your house!
Good luck!
