Hi..I voted barking as I am having a hard time getting Mica to stop barking at strangers when we go for a walk. She is only 10 months and I am trying to socialize her as much as possible. When Mica approaches strangers she is so friendly but she seems to want to protect me when she sees people approaching from a distance. She also pulls on her leash so I guess she considers herself the pack leader. I am trying to calm and assertive with training her. Hopefully when she gets older she will become more obedient. Any suggestions would be welcomed at this point. Take care. LOL mom of Mica and Kali.
