They have taught Aries to bark

Basenji Talk
  • 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.

    That is hilarious! Probably talking to a dog outside! My 17 year old cat has never meowed, she has always said "mat, mat, mat, mat" over and over. Perhaps she's calling Matt? Maybe wanting us to put a mat down? Doesn't have a clue she's a cat? All I know, is meow isn't in her vocabulary.

    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…

    You can always check to see if the plant is poisonious or not on the ASPCA's website, they have a list of toxic things to dogs and if you are still concerned you can call the animal poison control phone number and speak with a vet on duty (know this from experience with my Fajita vegtable eating Puggle :( ) http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pro_apcc

    Yeah… you should have heard Jazz at the dog show today when another dog got too close! And the poor dog hadn't even done anything. Now, why that dog triggered the response when several others had gone with little or no attention paid, I do not know. Then we came home and I took her for a quick jog down the road, and the neighbors {soooooooooo annoying} young boxer ran out to say hello and Jazzy's first response was to growl and snap. She is fine with Basenji's, but oh! what a bitch with anything else.
