Holding him and showing stress that he might attack will only get him worked up. My dog was the same way with my partner. Also if your dog is socialized with humans and other dogs it'll help. |
He's doing better and better but he barks at people a lot unless we're at like petco or petsmart on our walks during the day he sometimes barks and sometimes doesn't but at night he will bark at EVERYONE. He's three so is socialization still possible? What are some good tips on going about it? His previous owner gave him up because they weren't home a lot so I'm assuming for 3 years he was just by himself until they came home and probably rarely went on walks.
