hi,

My dog is fairly calm, except when he hears people walking in the hallway (we live in a 4 apartment condo building)... He is fine with most people, new people. But, there are hand full people that every time he sees them (they come over), he absolutely goes nuts!! He barks on top of his lungs, loses his voice, and sometime even pees himself. Many times, i was thinking that it might have been of being frightful of one particular person, but he does it from time to time with others... I don't really know what is up with him, and what i should do.. I don't know if he senses something in these particular people, or what. In a way, i am mostly concerned about his state when he gets like this, i am worried for his health (heart)...

Does anyone else experience this? and if so, what do you do to resolve it? if not, can some one please provide some insight..

He is now 2.3 yrs old, and he has been going through this last yr. I am not sure if obedience classes would work, I was considering your a water bottle, to spray him. But, it's almost like it's an internal feeling that he is barking, and he just can't seem to calm himself down until these people leave...

Thanks for ur help!
