Hello everyone. I have a 6 month old (estimation) Great Pyrenees (also estimation) and I am looking for your help about some behavioral problem that I had noticed.
1. He is very friendly with the strangers. When he sees a person at distance gives him a threaten bark (not always), but when he comes close stops barking and close him waving his tail and sniffing. This behavior is absolutely unacceptable by me. I don’t ask to be aggressive but I want to be at least cautious with strangers and threaten him more as they approaches. How I can achieve that?
2. The dog has developed a friendly relation with one of my neighbors. So 3-4 times per day leaves my homes garden and go to his house. I had seen that he had pet him and feed him sometimes and I think that every time the dog goes there awaits something like that. How I can make the dog forget his friendly feelings for him and treat him as a possible threat every time he sees him? I just want to notice that I have bad relations with the specific neighbor so any talk with him is impossible.
3. He barks sometimes at night. This is really annoying. How I can stop that? A muzzle will help? (The dog is living outdoors).
Thank you for your time
