So far I've been trying to redirect him, telling him to sit and tell him no bark. When it is something in the house that scares him, like the vaccuum, I'll bring him over to it to have him check it out, I'll pet him and praise him to show him that everything is ok. It is mostly when he is outside and another dog or human walks by that he "freaks out." He has been doing well with visitors, but we haven't had anyone new IN the house for a couple of weeks so that may have changed, too. Ugh, I hope not!
Thanks for the post kjc- I knew that I'd read that somewhere before and just assumed it was here. I appreciate it!
