She barks at everything from knocks at the door, doorbells, (on TV and not), and other dogs and people walking by our back door. We got her from the pound about 5 years ago and still can't break her of this habit. She just doesn't understand "no" and a little smack on the nose along with it. Any ideas? Not interested in shock collars or anyhting like that.

Small Dog Harness

We just rescued a small dog from the pound. She seems to be part lab, part ridgeback, she weighs about 50 pounds. My problem is we have a pet rabbit who lives in our back yard, and is free. We also have 2 other dogs who have no problem with the bunny. This new one thinks the bunny is the enemy, and when she sees her she goes into full alert mode, and chases him whenever she can.

I've tried taking her out on her leash with a choke collar, and petting the bunny at the same time, and she seems fine with it, just sits there nicely. I pet her when I do it, and tell her good girl.

This seems to work at the moment, but then she'll spot him in the yard, and randomly take off after him.

He has ways to get out of the yard (and get back), and he has places to hide, but I don't like playing this cat and mouse game. I want the dog to learn, and i'm looking for ideas to help speed up the process.
I will definitely look into the professional training. One of my other dogs is a labrador, and we never had a problem with her chasing the bunny, so thats why I thought this wouldn't be too difficult...
