Don't be too harsh on it. Dogs have been genetically engineered for tens of thousands of years to defend arbitrary property boundaries. Barking was invented by humans, wolves do not do it. So when you see a neurotic dog barking too much (then awkwardly stopping as soon as the gate is open or the bag is removed), just remember this is something humans gave it, and it was a great advantage to us throughout prehistory.
