You have to watch and catch him before he reacts
in order to correct him. It works.
When you do this also say NO! |

Thor gets really barky around other dogs on walks, and so now when I see a dog approaching, I start praising him. He has no idea what he's doing right, but it seems to give him the confidence to pass the dog without going nuts. Then I treat him for his good behavior. You could use this as you pass the swimming pool. |
I think both of these methods would work!
