Our Maremma is 5 months old. He loves to be outside and that's fine usually but he is still learning what to bark at and what not to bark at...they're very protective and need training to learn what's ok.
He probably has a bark once or twice a day....when he does we go out and let him know it's ok and there's nothing to bark at...we praise him when he stops barking....neighbours have just ROARED at me over the fence and said "You need to tell him NO! Just say NO! TO him!"
I said as calmly as possible, "He's very young and still learning, he's attending puppy classes..." and she began to blether on about some guide dog trainer but in a loud and mean voice.
What do I do? I don't want them shouting at me....but won't shout at the dog...they're old and probably not up on the latest methods...
