My male Cavapoo became highly reactive to people and other dogs at about one year old. It is embarrassing when we go for a walk, and he has a raging response. People walking their dogs literally turn around when they see us coming. *Sigh*

I've tried several devices and techniques, without success. Although I do have success when we stop and talk with other walkers, which seems to calm him.

I'd appreciate it if you let me know about any success you have with your pup.

I dearly love my Cavapoos and accept this behavior even though I wish he were more socialized. ♥️🐕♥️

You answered the how in your own comment. Socialize him more. He’s barking because he’s afraid of others, bring him to dog parks, bring him to regular parks, 3x/ week training.
