My puppy is almost 6 mts old. He is very friendly, has never lunged or attempted to bite anyone, aside from play biting which he only does when he is comfortable with someone.
But he tends to bark at random people and dogs on the street when he is at a distance. he will fixate on a person or their dog and will start barking. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen on a daily basis.
When this happens, he fixates on whatever he is barking at. I try to be stern and say "nuh-uh" or "no barking", but he does not listen to me. I try holding treats in front of him, but he ignores it. He resists me pulling him away, and when i do pull him away, he keeps looking back, and will often runs forward so he can turn around and keep barking. If i stand in front of him, he looks around me and keeps barking.
any advice on how to handle this type of behavior? especially when he stops listening to anything i say or do?
