She is a singer though, she howls all the time..if DH is on the piano she's AHWOOOOOOO'ing all over the place haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921410 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 08:01:58 +0000 StrawberryBee 921410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: Yeah, she's very insecure and gets frustrated when she can't control the situation, which I think plays into the barking sometimes. On the plus side, I highly doubt anyone could ever sneak up on us/break into our house, because they're always on high alert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921402 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:58:43 +0000 boiledpnut 921402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: She might be singing! I had a golden retriever that howled at sirens and the vet said she was just singing along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921398 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:58:09 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 921398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Pomeranian barks sometimes. Luckily her bark isn't annoying. But sometimes she will get started and its so hard to shut her up! Our doodle only barks when playing or if someone is at the door. He cries a lot though when company leaves! It's so cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921397 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:57:58 +0000 sorrycharlie 921397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. He is obnoxious with it!!! He's a sheltie - and fresh to boot. Won't listen to a word I say! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921395 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:57:34 +0000 boiledpnut 921395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: aww! I have an American Eskimo Spitz! Such pretty dogs. I think barking is common in the spitzes, unfortunately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921391 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:55:49 +0000 Happygal 921391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She barks when someone comes towards the home or something else alerts her. Gets all hackled up, too. I say thanks, and sometimes indulge her by doing a perimeter check with her. She's a German Shepherd, and she takes her "job" very seriously!</p> <p>I also found out through an unfortunate dinner making experience that she'll howl when the smoke alarm goes off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921386 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:54:18 +0000 StrawberryBee 921386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: Japanese Spitz :). </p> [attach=2320/13/mprvui.442x589.1.jpg] [attach=2320/13/mprvuk.600x398.professional-head-shot-hayley.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921380 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:53:06 +0000 regberadaisy 921380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it drives me crazy bc she will not shut up when you tell her to be quiet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921379 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:52:49 +0000 Dandelion 921379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dogs bark only when something is outside, like a neighbor walking, or someone coming to the house. I just pat their heads and say thanks for letting me know and they seem satisfied with that, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921378 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:52:29 +0000 boiledpnut 921378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: What kind of spitz do you have? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921375 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:51:14 +0000 StrawberryBee 921375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes; surprisingly, our sheltie is the quietest of the three. My spitz is fairly reactive to outside sounds, and sets the bichon/yorkie off. Spitz and Sheltie have 'off' buttons; the bichon/yorkie doesn't. Sometimes 'shhhing' them works, sometimes raising my voice into a very stern tone shuts it off. If someone knocks on the door? yeah, that's not getting turned off for a while. Should be interesting when LO gets here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921366 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:49:12 +0000 LindsayInNY 921366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours barks when we're home and he hears noises outside. It's really annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921356 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:47:42 +0000 boiledpnut 921356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Drives us nuts. He barks at cars driving by, UPS, FedEx, school buses, everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921351 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:46:18 +0000 jillybean218 921351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, YES. He barks when he sees/hears people that aren't us. It usually scares people who don't know him, but then the second they are in the house or his vicinity he's super excited and falls on his back wanting belly rubs and is all kissing and love.</p> <p>We're working on the barking, but DH wonders if it isn't a good thing that he warns us. Problem is, he warns us when he sees people in their own yard doing their own thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921332 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:42:28 +0000 IRunForFun 921332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I think that's partially because she's pretty deaf and can't hear things to bark at! She will bark a few times if she sees a stranger in the house, but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921300 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:35:35 +0000 yerpie110 921300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dog will bark, just 3-4x, whenever he hears the door open. He's our doorbell! Otherwise, he's a quiet guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921285 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:31:30 +0000 T.H.O.U. 921285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thats kinda cute! Ours is a crier. He will cry at the door if we don't let him in. Other then that he's pretty quite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-dog-a-barker#post-921283 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:30:21 +0000 heffalump 921283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dog very rarely barks. Maybe when we come home she'll let out a bark. She does howl though.... but only when we leave her alone. She also howls when DH leaves (such a daddy's girl!) so I had to start taking her for a walk in the morning so she doesn't realize he's leaving because she was waking LO up. </p>
