He is going through puppy puberty right now and he seems uncontrolable. Our BIGGEST problem is with taking him outside. He goes crazy when he see's another dog, he barks and gets way too excited, it's not an aggressive bark - just an excited one. I've tried squirting him with water when this happens but nothing works. The only thing we can do is just say 'lets go' and we keep walking. But now all the other dogs and dog owners in our area avoid us and I feel soo embarrassed.
Can anyone relate to this? If so, how did you get through this wonderful stage? And did you just wait it out or did you try untraining this bad behavior?
Another question to - when he gets neutered, will he quit with this behavior?
PLEASE HELP!! |
Harley has just turned a year is fixed and still gets excited when he sees other dogs,he is getting much better though and i have found by socializing him with friends dogs it has really helped. i do the same if he keeps barking when we are out ,i just keep going and firmly tell him no, or make him sit for a few secs until he calms. I get some funny looks too sometimes!!!
