| Barking at people and other dogs.... Winston is 8 months old and barks at pretty much all other dogs and some people. I think it is because when he was younger we were walking him and a big shepard came running up barking at him, he didn't act scared but barked right back. Now I think he is scared of other dogs. Has anyone experienced this? It is so bad that even when I let him out to go to the bathroom or take him to the vet he is barking. Sometimes he runs out the back door barking before he sees anything. He doesn't really bark in the house much at all. Now he has gotten my 2 year old Bella to bark at neighbors too and she never used to do this. How can I stop this? |

| My dad's dog is like that! Unfortunately they haven't fixed the problem. With Jackson (my yorkie) putting change (pennies) in a can has helped a ton! Every time he barks, I shake the can and say "quiet!" and now whenever I say "quiet!" it usually works. The noise distracts them from what they are barking at. I know they also have these noise transmitter things you can buy at petsmart, etc that emit a sound only dogs can hear but humans can't. I haven't tried those out yet though. They have also collars that release water or some release a gas whenever the dog barks.
