It would be interesting to know what the "gold standard" recommendation is, so if you remember, let me know when you find out!

I know why she started, a couple of years ago we had a friends dog stop for a month whilst they were on holiday. Up to that point she'd never bothered barking at the gate but Eric did - hence a couple of local dogs, walking along the path at the back, started targetting the gate and within a week Boo joined in. She's built it up from there - it's basically just a learned behaviour which has become a habit. She's been outside for the past hour, dogs walking up and down and there's not been a squeak from her, so it looks as though the habits been broken thank goodness.
