Hello!
There is tons of info on this site re: walking and barking etc.
I found it helpful to work with a dog behaviorist for the issues you mentioned. (He really sucked for separation anxiety and jaded me but that's another story...lol).
It sounds like you could use some professional guidance on how to assert yourself so that your puppy isn't confused about who leads on the walk.
Seriously, I know a lot of people are intimidated by the cost of a trainer but the lessons last a lifetime and it really is worth the time and small expense so that you and your dog can learn to communicate. |
