Do you have any quick tips that could possibly help with this? I took him to obedience school when he was 6 months old, but I didn't find it to be all that great. I actually think that's where he learned to start barking! He used to be quiet as a mouse, but all the dogs in the class would bark non-stop and he started picking it up very quickly. I would like to get him a trainer, but I don't really know what to look for in a good trainer. How do I know if they'll be successful with my dog? |
