    My old collie, now gone to doggie heaven at the ripe old age of 15, bless her.. Her hobby was barking At night she would stay awake and BARK. No real reason. Drove me crazy so then I slept them together where I could barely hear them, with a hay nest. A I could still just hear them it amazed me that she almost never barked there, so just wanted an audience? My wee dog rarely barks thankfully. Gets excited when we play ball and shows off barking at the post lady IF I have had to go and sign for something.. oh and I have trained her to bark at magpies but she stops when I tell her. BUT she is a ....... whiner! The sounds would break the heart of God. When I am going out.. oh MY!

    My cousin had a dog that would bark at itself. They live up on a hill overlooking a town and across from them there's a big apartment block. So the dog would sit out front of the house and bark, about 2 seconds later it's bark would echo off the apartments the dog would hear it's own bark and then bark again. This would go on for several hours at a time.

    My dog Fudge has to go outside for a bit of barking after she gets fed. The dogs get fed late at night so it's usually dark. She doesn't bark during the day, just has to go out and tell the neighbourhood that she got fed!

    And on the subjuct of farts, she usually does SBDs but on the odd occasion it makes a niose she jumps up, looks behind as if to say "what the feck was that" and runs away.

    Bob used to bark at people walking on the street outside, cars driving on the road outside, people daring to come into his driveway, people daring to go into the neighbours driveways...

    He's gone deaf now so doesn't hear any of it any more, and is a lovely happy quiet dog!

    The door bell sends my 2 demented. One will go mad if you move your feet. The other is generally too lazy to bark.

    my dog barks at me to let me know he has just done a pee on his pee pad so that I will give him a treat

    The wheelbarrow and the lawnmower.

    A friend of mine has a dog that goes apesh1t if anyone says the word "Ba$tard".

    My dog barks at me, and no one else. It only happens when she thinks I'm delaying her walk. She's all sweetness to himself, but I get the barks.

    My Lab barks at anything and nothing, especially when he thinks everyone has left the house and he goes to the kitchen or out the back to bark into the air, he gets very embarrassed when he realises someone is home!
    The little puppy we have didn't bark for 7 months but now he's starting to copy the big fella if anyone comes into the driveway or rings the bell.

    Don't mind the little one's bark but the lab's bark is very loud and really hurts the ears sometimes

    Mine barked at the cat ... just the once.

    The cat looks and acts like a mafia boss.
    Bark in his general direction = whack!

    So the dog now barks really really quietly at the cat.

    Mine barks at the lawnmower.The lawnmower doesn't have to be doing anything.
    Often he goes into the shed just for a bark or two.

    I was explaining to a couple of friends, the other day, how I'd lost my glasses. This came about largely because, as I explained to them; " I was just leaving the room and one of the Dogs had said something to set me off. "

    Now; Both these guys are Dog men. Neither batted an eyelid or sought to question it. They knew.

    Years ago now, I was in a group conversation and mentioned how one of my Dogs had been shouting. Some f**king dick weed turned round and said, as if he was talking a five year old;

    " Stigura: Dogs Bark. They don't 'Shout'. They're Dogs. "

    I just thought; " How f**king dozy is this idiot?! Patently knows f**k all about Dogs! "

    Dog here has been trained by an expert not to bark except at certain things.

    If someone is at the gate, she starts a kind of ticking bark, like a geiger counter effect. IF she hears them that is.

    If they dare come any nearer, the full on bark and I realise why she was trained not to bark.... Ear splitting... OUCH!

    She is my guard, my protector in a deep rural area. Keeps invaders out...

    Just very occasionally she gets over excited but a firm NO BARKING stops that, A good little dog .

    Our dog barks if someone mentions the word ducks and if you make a duck noise it goes absolutely spare, strange animals.

    Barking at his own stupidity?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,169 ✭✭✭RiderOnTheStorm


    My little dog barks at nearly everything that surprises / frightens her (as well as the usual.... Birds, doorbells, postmen etc). But the weirdest is when I draw the curtains she barks at them. Its not me, but the curtains themselves.... I can follow her eye line.

    But she can be the funniest little dog too. She will fetch her fav toy and drop it in front of the other dog and barks until he goes for it, then she snatches it and runs away making other dog chase her.

    He is sorely missed he was a real trouper a very kind post. Thank you.
    She is really sweet and gentle a lovely dog in her own way. They are so different which is a blessing in its own way. 16 yes I can only imagine poor girl only you and your vet can know in the end what's best. Our boy didn't make 3 unfortunately he was born with a list of issues that eventually got the better of us. Best wishes with it

    Sister has a golden cocker spaniel
    If you're wheeling a wheel Barrow around the garden, she'll bark at the wheel.

    If you're using a rake, she'll bark at that.

    Barked at the car this morning as it was parked different.
    At the door only if she wants in if she wants out she just jumps on ur lap.
    We had a friends dog visit today that genuinely did nt stop barking the whole time it was here. Solid hour and half She is very quiet this evening perhaps she got an overdose 😂😂
