We recently adopted a 4-6 month (unsure of age) puppy and she keeps barking at my husband in our home. It’s only been with us for 5 days, but i know it is never too early to socialize.
She also barks at others (randomly/infrequently) when walking outside.
We don’t want her to be a stereotypical small dog that barks and growls at everyone. So what is the best way to socialize her? Also, when will she stop barking at my husband? She lets him pet her but when he walks into a room, she barks and growls. Obviously, she is scared. I would like to work on her anxiety.
She gets along great with our other dog. No problems there.
She also barks and whines a lot when crated. She is crated to sleep and is mostly fine. But when crated during the day while we run errands, she barks and whines a lot!
Any socialization tips are welcome! I know she is an older puppy so im not sure if that changes things with regards to puppies who start socialization earlier on.
Thanks!
