Barking when I leave

Hello everyone, I have a 3 years old female Pug that is quite adorable but has a few obedience problems. As I live with my family, my mom is her master and the others (we're 6 at home) try to make her obey but it's not always easy. One of the problems is thats she barks on anyone who tries to leave our appartment: family, friends, strangers. Does anyone know what we can do to stop that? We tried telling her that she was staying home alone to guard the house but it only works 1 time out of 3. Also, she only comes when my mother calls her, she ignores everyone else (which is embarrasing when we call her in the streets and she prefers to go see a stranger), we definitely cannot let her walk in the park without a leash even in a dog park. Thank you for your help,

Sandra

I use a Kong with peanut butter. It has been taking awhile, but the dog gets used to it when I leave. The Kong is a reward I give on a regular basis. As far,as barking, I leave calming music on my Google or Alexa and it plays that music all day for the dog when Ai leave.
