I think it's just Mickey becoming a teen. Kai was always a barker but barked even more at that age. Every single dog, bark. Every person, bark. Every bike, bark. He eventually got over it some-what. I mean, now he's still a barker but he doesn't bark at dogs unless they're face to face and playing and he doesn't bark unless something really excites him. Although, he does bark when someone rings the door bell which I don't mind at all because I'm usually down stairs and the door bell can only be heard from upstairs.

I think mick will get over it on his own but helping him out would make it go by faster. Whenever people passed our house, Kai would bark and howl at them. I just went to him and held my hand over his muzzle. I waited until the person was out of sight then I'd reward him. He's still doing it but he's catching on. And for walks, the halti really helped. When he barked, he'd pull towards the object. When he pulls on the halti, his muzzle is closed because of the pulling therefor, no barking.
