How do i stop my dog from barking ?

I just got an 8 week old alaskan malamute/wolf mix, and my 7 month old labrador will not Stop Barking at her.


Hes just going in circles around her and hes just barking.He also seems to be cornering her but she just kinda goes on her back, like lays down.He also snaps at her, but doesnt bite her :S
She doesn’t do anytthing except for laying down and trying to get away.

Is this normal ?
and can someone tell me whats going on and if he’s supposed to do that

You have to elaborate on this… how is his bark? Is it angry sounding or more playful? When you hear an angry kind of bark, its bascially the typical bark you will hear from a very territorial dog protecting its area from a stranger. A playful bark is just a constant barking, the same bark over and over and over again. When he snaps at her, is he doing it with teeth barred? Or trying to grab her legs or neck in a playful manner? It could be that he is trying to play with her. And being a wolf mix, they are notorious for being shy. So it may be that she is not ready to play yet and is trying to show her submission by laying on her back. They are just dogs being dogs, establishing themselves in the pack.
