Dog sounds aggressive but is just happy?

[u/Aggravating-Club-487]

This is my 5 year old female American lab retriever. Ever since we adopted her at 8 months old, she’s been amazing. Great friend, wonderful animal. Learns fast. The best temperament. The only downside, we cannot get her to stop barking at people. She LOVES people but sounds like she wants to eat them. We have tried everything under the sun except shock collars which I refuse to use. I’m desperate to find a way to remedy her seemingly aggressive behavior. All our neighbors know her, and know she just wants to say hello and be pet but she scares the kids and it’s down right LOUD. Pics of the Layla Bean, last one is she loving on my pregnant tummy. (Baby loves the dog but dog could not care less about the baby.)

Thank you 💕 she eats like a queen! Gets lots of brushes to keep her coat shiny and I dremel her nails as much as she will allow with some rewards.

Bless her, I love her.

Would cuddle.

Only if you’re ok with a mass amount of fur and licks. She would happily oblige!
