Well being only 10 months, it's normal, as my Rebel does the same.. he's a mini schnauzer..and 3 years old, now & they tend to be very vocal !! I use a spray called " Pet Corrector " I get it from my pet shop, and you spray away from your dog.. the hissing noise that the can makes startles Rebel and he stops barking.. you have to be patient as my boy barks at other dogs too.. but persevere and it does work. Good Luck..
