A 5 month old dog that is barking at things is not guarding she is fearful. Not a good thing
. Puppies can be afraid of things.....but if they have good nerves...they get over it very quickly.
Please try to discourage her from barking....it's not guarding and it's not cute.
The best thing you can do is to go investigate...what she/he is barking at....tell them in a matter of fact voice...."you silly dog.....it's just the garbage can",etc. and go over to it and throw a treat beside it. Puppy will have to go near it to get the treat.
