" our American bulldog goes nuts when we do this.....she barks and snarls and tries to bite the wheels and the bin itself, EVERY time we roll the bins up to be emptied or back down after pick up. we have tried EVERYTHING to get her to STOP doing this. we've tried Ceasar Milan methods; attacking her WITH the bin; using a stern NO, leave it; moving her away from the bin and having her sit and stay; using some type of device to shoo her away from the bin. "

Have you ever tried praising her for staying away from the bin, e.g. when she is sitting and staying? Give her some treats as she stays away, cheer her on. Positive reinforcement of the desired behavior works. Check out Victoria Stillwell, who I consider the world's most knowledgeable dog trainer.

Same principle applies to people.
