Both Tommy and Tasha bark, Tasha barks the most frantically, running to look out the window and then back to where ever I am growling and whining, Tommy has a deep booming bark. Once the door is anwered they usually quiet down on their own, though sometimes Tasha will peek out and give a bark or two. If it is someone he knows, Tommy will then come out and greet them with excitement, usually bringing a toy along with him in order to impress them. Tasha keeps her distance.
Lucy goes totally APE youknowwhat!!! I hate it with a passion and will keep it up til I get to the door,, then she will slowly calm down... I guess she is just letting me know,, warning her pack.. lol..... I always yell at her,, WOULD YOU LEARN TO MEOW????
Ray,, he is pretty new here,,, so he just runs after Lucy... doesnt bark,,,, yet!
CRAZY!!!!!!!
It is such a nightmare. If I know someone is coming, I often tell them to call when they are close, just so I can get control.
Our entryway is gated, but 2 of the dogs can jump it. So when the UPS man or whoever comes, it is all I can do to get a foot out the door and get outside.
Kito is the one who is barking protectively--the other three are just wanting to kiss and say hi to whoever is there!!!
It does cut back on the annoying neighbors and kids coming to the door though.:)
Zoey goes nuts! She barks and body slams the door. That'll keep the bad guys away. :eek: I then put her in a sit/stay so I can answer. If it's someone she doesn't know she'll grumble while waiting.
Blaze barks his head off and goes nutso!!! Seriously, he HATES strangers, and would bite their head off too if I don't put him outside or in his crate. If someone drives up, and he's in the backyard, they better watch out, 'cause Blaze turns nasty!! Other than that, he's pretty sweet...to MOST people anyway...usually kids, not adults.
LOL, Blaze won't sit and stay for me for nothing when he's about to meet a stranger...he thinks he's GOT to protect me!! Which is good I guess!! :DQuote:

I'm a FedEx driver so I know what it's like to have a barking, lunging dog wanting to attack meet you at the door. :p I think her grumbling lets the stranger know she's "ready" to attack. lol Sometimes she'll even stomp her front paws.Quote:
