I'm blessed with a pup that will be one year old next week - and he's very sociable - but not so barky/yappy - if another dog shows aggression towards Loki - he will show some back - then run to me - for his security - I've usually had big security dogs in the past - now it's a nice change - having to do the security - for the little scamp - very funnyI have one that just makes a beep or a buzz that does not stop my Arlo from barking hysterically at his friends when he sees them. It’s a friendly bark but he has a deep voice now and is scary to some and embarrassing to me usually as it seems I have no control of my dog when it happens. He is now over 60 pounds of muscle and strength and can pull me down without the prong collar I got him for our walks. His mind has not matured like his body tho and even with all the barking a giant teddy bear looking doodle is really not that intimidating, just embarrassing for me. I have resorted to bypassing those nice people, their friendly dogs and kids that Arlo is missing out on visiting as Maryjane gets all the love and pets from the walkers, their kids and pets and he does not for acting like an ass. I’m hoping he will eventually outgrow this behavior so we can walk up to them and say hello which is all he wants to do anyway.
