No we make sure we always go out the front door first,she walks next to me,i pull her to the side of me when she starts to bark with a firm NO. Am trying the trick with biscuits in my pocket to get her attention ,not working very well,i think she may be copying my 12year old Sheltie.She always does what she's told indoors and is very good .Just turns into MONSTER DOG OUTSIDE
Thanks Mitch

Uh oh!  Chi's have very strong personalities, and it appears that your pup believes she owns you - and not the other way around.  

Can you describe what you do when she goes after other people or dogs?  How do you correct her?  Does she generally walk in front of you and lead the way, or do you?
