| you have to let him know that this isnt acceptable hun.... hes trying it on  ... when people come to the house, keep him on a lead and check him... tug at his leash when he barks and growls... tell him NO!!..... if him he listens.... reward h if he does it in the street....do the same... check him to the side.. tell him no.... if he stops then rewards him... he will soon get the message, you have to be persistent... weve all been there..... several times  |

| It's annoying when they do this as you know they are big softie's Good advice everyone has given you, Bryn is 2yrs now, he never showed his teeth etc but even now sometimes he has to give a stupid bark every so often, but it's only when he is on the lead, never off. _________________  |

| fred can be very embarrasing, if were off on our walk and someone stops us to speak, he will bark at them as if to say... feck off im going on a walk  ....and hes nearly 3 we still have good days and bad days ...  |
