When it comes to barking at strangers or other animals, Barbara Wright —
dog trainer and founder of Positive Puppies — recommends that instead of
shying away from social situations, or worse still, hitting your pup, paw - rents can use treats to get their
dog to focus on them
rather than on whatever he was previously barking at.
This sweet pup came in
rather shy and nervous around other
dogs, but now she's become the belle of the
dog park, and quickly learning commands like sit and down.
