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.

    I love hearing these stories about Basenjis - and you do tell them well. I look forward to hearing more!

    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…

    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. :)
