Hi guys sorry for bringing this up again.

I've tried the turn around method. It seems to work somewhat but then the next time I take my puppy out he will be belligerant with other dogs again. Even humans he will sometimes lunge at. It's really getting annoying as I've been taking him for walks 2-5 times a day and he continues to do this.

I tried to socialize him a lot when he was younger, but he got his last shot at 4 months just about 2 and a half weeks ago. He mainly stayed in my arms or in a carrying case that u could see through. I would take him into the movies, parks, pet store, he met other dogs/people etc. He used to be so quiet. Not until I started taking him on walks does he start barking. He particularly likes to bark at other small dogs behind fences or if they walk by us.

I live in a pretty dense neighborhood in Los Angeles, there are a lot of small yappy dogs here and you run into lots of people walking around with or without dogs. There are little dogs in my neighborhood which bark constantly and I think Theo hears them and has started barking back, even when we are in my apartment.

I even walk him away and give him a treat when he stops barking.

Anyone have any other advice. Do you think I should get him neutered, would this help with the aggression? I'm guessing it's mainly fear based barking, but he will really lunge and bark fiercely at other dogs.

Help!
