Ok so my dog barks at me and growls at me then I take her outside and shes goes to the bathroom.. once in a while she barks and growls then I take her outside and she doesnt go to the bathroom.. im thinking maybe she wants to go for a walk.. its really frustrating. Ill be watching a movie after taking her outside and 30 mins after taking her outside she barks at me

I’m having the same issue with barking and growling. I know she is trying to get me to play, but unfortunately, her idea of playing still involves biting and lunging and biting a good portion of the time.

Yeah, still young like mine. I dont know if yours is same as ours, but generally when she barks at us, I think she is just wanting to play

Mason used to go in time out in his crate
Some of his bad puppy habits took a while to settle down but they did in the end
Do you have a routine that you stick to?

I’m not going to tell you how to train your dog, but they say that you are not supposed to use the crate as punishment because then they wont want to use it (for sleep etc). Maybe shut her in a separate room instead?

I agree with @SzSupportAdmin . You don’t want to use the crate for punishment. That should be their little safe place and home.

I walk her everyday for over a hour. Im not putting her in kennel. Wut I do when she barks and acts like a a55hole I just go sit in my room and close door. Let her sit outside my room

Give her plenty of chew toys and play with her indoors as well.
It’s a puppy phase, she’ll outgrow it
I don’t know if you interact with her enough
Maybe she wants more interaction with you
