I adopted a malamute from a rescue. He is fearful of strangers. He will growl and bark at them if they get too close. He's almost a year old. Has anyone had this issue and did their dog get over it. I have seemed help with a qualified behaviourist. I'm presuming the behaviour is down to a lack of socialisation whilst in the rescue.
It could even have been his poor socialisation skills that landed him in rescue - and that wouldn't have helped him either. Do take up the offer of a behaviourist who can show you the best methods to use for him.
