Default 5 month old German shep pup barking at people

I have a 5 month old german shep pup, she seemd to bark alot at certain people. I have watched the vids on barking and they seem to talk alot about ignoring your dog for the first 5 min or so when you first come into the house or fisrt meetings with your dog to help establish alfa. I injoy our first meeting she is exicted to see me and calms down after our greeting, is this necessary with the 5 month old becaus I do injoy our first meetings.
She listens well , sits with a hand command and down also and much more. I feel I do have the alfa roll with her. I am worlking with redirecting her when she starts to bark and treating after shes quite I am also socializing as much as possible. Thanks

Sounds like you are doing fine, with the meeting thing you can shorten it so basically all you are doing is greeting her on your terms, not hers. So just give it a minute or so, walk in the door and put your things down, maybe check the phone messages and then go for it
Good luck with the training re: the barking, you've got a bright little pup there so you should find they learn quick. Otherwise just enjoy puppyhood!
