How Do I Stop My Dog From Barking at People When We Go Out Side or Someone Comes to the Door?

Well i live in a apartment and every time someone walks by the door my dog barks and every time i have company she barks at them then after a few minutes she is ok and wants to play. When we go out side is when i have the big problem I have to hold her so she wont bit anyone i have a muzzle but i want to be one of those people who walk my dog with out a muzzle. Because she barks and try to bit every time we go outside i trained her to pee on a doggy wee wee pad. Should i take her outside more ofter so she gets use to people? She is only 1yr old so i still have time to train her.
Also she will walk for a while then she will just stop and look at me i will call her and yank the leash lightly but she just sits there. Then after a while she would walk again but she will sit there and not move for like 3 min.She is a Maltese dog she is small so when she stops i cant pull her had like i would do if i had a bigger dog i dont want to hurt her.
She is very playful i love playing with her me and my family thats all we do but around other people she dont know she just gets so mean. But i think i might go to pet co and get some training classes

How Do I Stop My Dog From Barking at My Neighbor Who Bangs the Side of His Shed to Make Her Stop Barking?

I have told him that banging on things won’t get her to stop, it will only get her to bark more. His response was, “Then get ‘em to shut the ^$&# up.” I live on 1.5 acres, he lives on 2.5 acres. There is a buffer of 150 feet of solid trees between our yards, we can’t even see each other. He works outside quite a bit, and I know her “puppy bark” (7 months old) can be annoying, but I don’t see an end to the cycle. It is unrealistic of me to expect my neighbor to change, so what can I do to change my dog’s reaction to his behavior? One option I will not consider is keeping her in the house all the time. She needs her exercise and fresh air. I have .75 acres fenced off for the pups to run, which they enjoy. I have three other dogs, but they don’t bark very much, as they are familiar with all of the “neighborhood noises” and don’t respond to it. I have had my new pup 2 months. Any suggestions or ideas that have worked for you?
