Why does my dog bark and jump at people? How to manage excitement?

Question

My pug, Cadbury, starts barking fiercely at my brother if he walks in a fast pace. Cadbury doesn't bite him or anything but he jumps and barks so much that my brother gets confined to a corner in the bed, scared. This continues till we get him a treat or till he gets tired. After that, he is perfectly normal. How can i help this? Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | unneutered | 4 years and 2 months old

It sounds like Cadbury may be getting a bit too excited by your brother, causing the behavior. If your brother is scared of Cadbury, it might be good to have your brother start teaching Cadbury to sit every time they are together, and then offering a treat. That way, if Cadbury gets too excited or corners him, your brother can ask him to sit, allowing enough time to get out of the corner and continue on. Distracting Cadbury when he gets too excited, either with a toy, or game in another room can also help deter the behavior away from your brother and onto something more appropriate.
