Dogs barking at people passing house

How do I stop my dogs reacting to passing people and dogs?

I have moved my office to the front of the house. The dogs like to sit on a chair overlooking the road; however, they bark at every passer bye with the bigger dog going loopy if she sees a dog - my road leads to the park, so dogs pass by frequently. When they meet a dog in real life, they are both friendly and sociable

I can’t move my office and need the chair for clients (it’s leather so I clean it before a client arrives), but I would like to be able to make a phone call without risking it being interrupted by a manic sounding dog. I have tried keeping the dogs away from the window, but they can hear people in the road and rush to the window barking.

Just an update - sadly Ddog was put to sleep after the vet found a large tumour in her bowel. If your dog’s behaviour changes, it may be due to ill health which makes the dog feel vulnerable.

I'm really sorry to hear that. X
