So I have had my young fellow Hamish for over two weeks now and we are getting along very well. He is great in the crate and house training and basic obedience is going well. His nature is calm and confident but I notice when he does get excited he has a strong tendency to bark. He does so when eliciting play from my other dogs and today I had him at a pond for introduction to water. Before he figured out he was a good swimmer he was barking at the dummy in the water.
I have never really had to deal with a noisy dog with several Labs and many spaniels. Obviously at 10-11 weeks it is not a major problem but I would like to keep it from becoming one. How do the members recommend dealing with a pup with a tendency to be noisy?
