Well the instructor was telling me something similar to have him kind of get him away from the situ and pull him away while saying "uh uh uhhh!". The problem was is he was not listening to me and just in 'attack mode'. I had to keep him like 30 feet away from the rest of the class and watch from afar to keep him quiet. There are like 11 other dogs in the class and none of them were near as bad as mine... very disappointing.

I spent a lot of time socializing him so I don't get why he has such a problem, when other people have dogs that are just automatically calmer.

It's hard to get him to pay attention to me a all. The minute I walk outside or towards the door for his daily walks, he will start growling or barking.

I thought at first that it was fear based. But it's almost fun for him. He thinks he's a tough cookie... he is like a little napolean LOL. If I have my door open and he can see outside he will bark at a tree moving in the wind and I have to scold him.

I will keep trying, thanks for the advice... He won't pay attention to me when he sees things to bark at (which is almost anything). I am very active and have exposed him to so many situations...maybe I over exposed him? Like I said before he never used to bark, he would just be quiet when I would take him around

I will try anything. A friend suggested a little collar that just vibrates and makes the dog uncomfortable. anyone else with suggestions?
