Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


KoKo is a 2.5 year old Maltese and shih Tzu male. He is in perfect health and up to date with all shots, potty trained, and he is not neutered. He is very affectionate, loves to cuddle, and a sweetheart but is extremely anxious and excitable. He is very energetic. He becomes fixated on things like other dogs, children, adults, and cats. He will bark, whine, lunge at other dogs and people. We have tried private training with a professional dog trainer, classes, and puppy school, with very little improvement. I discussed behavioral issues with my vet and they recommended anxiety medication. There is no change when taking medication. If we are in a quiet space without any distractions, he can loose leash walk and follow commands easily. He is such a love bug and adores tummy rubs.
