The dog really needs to be socialized. Carry some treats and do your best to get others to give him a treat, but that may backfire as you may wind up with a dog that barks and begs with everybody.
When ruger barks at a stranger I casually say he wants attention, I pick him up and hold him up to the other person and he calms down, especially if the other person will pet him.
One thing I don't understand is why Ruger barks at some people but not at others. |
