7 month old pup barking after dogs at times

Post by SmoothDogg »

I have a 7 month old pup, with real good actions, going with the other dogs and keeps his nose on the ground. But at times he barks after ther other dogs, nat bad but at times he will run after them barking.

Is this something I shouldnt worry about since he is still a pup, what I am asking is this natural and will he eventually just stop on his on. Or do I need to bump him a little when he does it?

Any imput will be greatly appreciated..


Thanks,
Josh

IMO you should stop running him with the faster dogs that is what he is barking after dogs not the track Hunt him with slower dogs or by hisself I WOULD NOT SHOCK HIM ITS NOT HIS FAULT HE IS A PUPPY

It is partly a puppy thing and possibly a "ME TOO" thing. Solo him until he is confident of his own nose and see what that does for him.

I had a male puppy that was about the same age and he did the same thing. I put some solo time on him and once he was old enough to keep up with the other dogs he was fine. I would sugest solo time and letting him grow up.
