Hyper Horses wear blinders don't they ? The Hyper Barker.
Some dogs think barking is their only job. You have to teach them (especially) on walks you are the one in charge. Your pup is very young and needs to be desensitized. Practice walking and heeling in a boring minimal distraction area at first, like a long hall, your own house and yard. Praise when he is quiet all on his own too, like when you are just hanging out watching TV, pet him and say good quiet. Good Quiet is a praise cue NOT a do this cue. He needs to learn being quiet and calm is a good thing. Just like you can say Good Sit when he is just sitting because he happens to be sitting. Be patient. Take baby steps in training. Training time is so worth it ! Even if it take three months . Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could do your dishes every day for three months and for the rest of your life the dishes would do them self because you taught them how ? OH YEP that is how training works. Hugs Teresa
