He is 13 weeks now, my older Lab never barks at strangers randomly but if they yell she will growl or are scaring me/her in some way...she has kind of a fight response where if you trespass she isnt going to back down...yell and stomp all you want it just makes her lunge, throw her a bone...no she just wants you off the property(i dont think she is "protective" but she will defend any people or dogs she believes are in her pack instinctivly). My Golden pup has the opposite reaction....he will bark at strangers randomly especially if they talk and if they walk towards him he will run behind me. Haha...I really dont want him to be barking at strangers, he is going to be around 80-100 pounds but to me his barking is about as useless as a Chihuahua since he runs when afraid....ALSO when he sees anyone in our family sometimes he runs up growling but it almost seems playful. Do you think this all just playful?
(oh the labs not mean...if you ring the door bell and she sees us let the person in she is fine...well just ignores the person but if someone is creepin around 5am she gets a little scary) just to clear that up.
