Also, if she’s a Corgi, she’s a herding breed and they often have a guardian instinct. They’ve been bred to herd and watch property and livestock, so it can be natural for them to bark at strangers and animals that approach their yard/house, but they’re not supposed to be aggressive.
My Texas Heeler/Border Collie puppy does this. He’s sweet as can be to people outside of the house and approaches them willing, but once he’s on our property, he goes sorta into work mode and he alerts us of anything or anyone approaching.
