            &lt;div class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;A dog who acts like this (crazy, barking, nipping, won&#039;t listen, ignores treats) needs a behaviorist, not a general training session at a free clinic. Chances are this is aggression and training (sit, stay, treats) won&#039;t always work well (either the dog ignores the treat/commands or you praise at the wrong time and unconsciously PRAISE the behavior.)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
You need to learn how to properly distract the dog, when to give the treat, and when/how to correct the behavior. Most trainers at free clinics won&#039;t be experienced enough to know this - they mainly work on basic commands and few behavior issues.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I&#039;m surprised this behavior wasn&#039;t noted at the shelter - was the dog put through a behavior exam?&lt;/div&gt;</description>

            &lt;div class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;First, if you cannot afford classes, how will you support the dog if there is a medical emergency. Make sure you are financially able, BEFORE you get a dog.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Secondly, do not let your laughter walk the dog, do not pick the dog up when he is upset. Take treats on your walks and the instant you see a dog or distraction, stop, call for a &#039;watch me&#039; command and reward when he does. The walk the other way. You need to work on focus commands and &#039;leave it&#039;.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

            &lt;div class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;It&#039;s most likely that your dog had a traumatic experience that made him do such behavior. This barking/aggressive reaction may be his way of defending himself. Dogs bark out of boredom, fear or frustration and from the looks of it, your dog is into fear barking.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Here&#039;s a link to help you understand and treat this behavior:&lt;br&gt;

And here&#039;s also a training that can help you make your dog settle down. Worth the try. good luck!&lt;br&gt;
