My cocker Luca is a year old now and is fab in most areas. The issue we are having is random, no rhyme or reason barking at random people/dogs when we walk him. He can be fine for a few days and then will bark at random people. Sometimes it's men, sometimes it's women, sometimes it's kids. It is usually when they have approached him. He will move towards them and wag his tail but barks and barks. Sometimes he will snarl. Sometimes though people will approach him and he is fine, he will roll on his back for a belly rub. I would say though 8-9 times out of 10 he will bark. It is also random with dogs too. Sometimes does, sometimes doesn't. This all happens on lead walks. When he is off the lead he is fine, obviously we cannot always walk him off the lead! Totally random, but very upsetting.
The reason I am posting this again is because I wonder if anyone has any advice, and if anyone might be able to recommend a trainer that could come out and see Luca on a walk and help us with some more training in this area? We live near Brighton.
Thank you!
