a marker is a sound to praise, like a click from a clicker or the word good boy??

I recently brought my pup to puppy class and was also nervous as it would have been the first time he played with another dog and because he had barked at the dogs he had seen when he was on his walk also, now it might be a different with your pup but when having play time and socalisation with other puppy's during puppy class my dog was absoloutly fine

I didn't know that a spayed female dog had a greater cause for agression

okay thanks

it depends it will sometimes last around 5-10 mins and it occurs a few times a day

just a little advice needed, our 11 soon to be 12 week old lab is barking in play, we would prefer it if he didn't bark but am not sure how to discorage it, tell him 'NO', remove the toy, remove him and put him in time out, or just ignore? or even if we should be discoraging it as he is just playing and not barking at us
