If she is only barking for a few minutes, I wouldn't worry about it all that much. But if it is bothering you or your guests, try having them give her a treat when they come through the door. She should then begin associating the guests with the treat as a good thing. Fifi also barks when the door bell rings and won't give the guest a chance to give her treat. She runs and hides as soon as the enter, giving out a bark ever so often. ~Lacey
