Just the protective barking. I tried his enough command, his quiet command, I even got out the water bottle, nothing worked, he was too worked up.
This is my biggest issue right now with Kaiser. He will lay down on his bed when someone comes over but as soon as they get up he barks and moves toward them. I immediately correct him but it doesn't seem to help. LOVEMYBUDDY....have you had any luck in curbing this behaviour?
