They have taught Aries to bark

    Katie and Petey have taught Aries to bark.

    It was over 2 years before we heard Katie bark. Before that she had a whole repertoire of other sounds, but never barked. Now she barks all the time, and we only hear her other sounds if she is really upset.

    Aries barked yesterday when someone came to the door. I hope Aries doesn't start barking all the time too!

    My female pup barks too… Mostly at her daddy when they are playing. My older female doesn't like barking from other dogs and she just wants them to shut up... lol

    @zande Interesting. I've never watched when we've heard the 'alert' barks. I might have to leave a camera recording 24/7 to catch this (thankfully, very few alerts these days...). I've previously noted that it is single - and a lot easier on the ears than a 'real' bark.

    Ever seen a B that "learned" to bark?

    Me too. We had a Siberian Husky mix growing up in NJ and she always sang with the noon or the fire whistle. I hope you hear the sweet sounds of Cooper singing soon…

    Mick woofed for the first time last week. We had our front door open and he heard our neighbors outside talking. He stood up on the edge of the sofa and let out a grumble then 3 distinct WOOFS. :D We were like "what the heck was that?" Then we laughed our heads off. It was so cute. I wish he would do it again.

    I was talking to my husband last night about the one short bark that Jack does now. He thinks it is the funniest thing ever, because when he does it, he scares even himself. He looks at us like, "what was that?"

    Whenever Corky is in trouble for going in the garbage, grabbing something off the table or whatever, he instantly does his 'show me your belly' trick. He has us trained to stop lecturing him because he's so cute when he does that, we just can't help but rub his belly. :)
