Q

How can I stop my one year old terrier from barking and jumping up at people when out on walks?

A

There are several factors here, including the type of leash or harness that you are using, and the type of training you have done. The best answer is to engage with a good trainer, who will teach both you and your dog how to sort out this common problem. It will take you up to six months of hard work, but it’s worth it for the long run.
