Do your dogs bark to come inside?

[cocker_luva]

jesse will bark if shes been waitin awhile. silly impatient girl.

[gkristian]

foxy doesn't bark because he's mostly inside when i'm home.

My dogs don't bark to come in because either my husband or I am always outside with them.
If I run in the house for something this is what I see-

Nacey can't stand it if I go into the house. She always runs up to the door and looks in. If I don't leave the regular door open so she can see in through the glass then she will scratch and pound on the door until I come back out.

Ginger is never alone outside (no yard), so I don't know what she would do. Hmm...

lol - I had to vote other because when they are all outside together and ready to come in, Skye just lets them in! She ingeniously figured out that the little handle thingy pushes down and opens the door, so she jumps up and lets herself in! And of course, everyone else follows. I'll have to get a movie of that! Otherwise,

Chloe - barks
Venus - jumps on the door
Sahara - jumps on the door/learning to open it too

I voted no for both Maggie & Smokey. They don't bark to come
inside, just stand at the door. They don't bark to go outside
either.

None of ours bark to come in..although if they do start too much barking, or bark at all early in the morning, or late at night, they come in like it or not!

Sadie will knock on the window. Cincy and Spot stare at the door, then the window, door, window....watching for someone to come let them in.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

My sister's dog Bo usually doesn not bark to come in. She comes very close to the window and almost smashes her cute nose to get our attention.OH yes, she also goes stand on 2 legs, and put the other 2 higher on the window!! That's the part where my sis starts yelling: "Let that dog in; he is ruining my window...."

Of course, if nobody reacts, he starts barking

Pepper scratches. Autumn barks once then sits and waits for a minute then barks once again and sits and waits, this continues until get to the door, then she jumps and wags her butt .

[RobiLee]

My girls don't really do anything to let me know they are ready to come in. I guess the most they will do is curl up by the steps. I'm not for sure if they want in or they are just resting .

[Vette]

Nope. my dad or i always goes outside with him. so he doesnt have to bark when he wants inside. he just stays with us till were ready to go in.

OMG that's funny because Roxey has learned the same thing so now I have to lock the screendoor or she just comes in whenever she feels like it!

Now, I voted Yes for the barking but only Bon does it. He barks, scratches, wines, dances and bangs the door when he wants in
Roxey will just stare and Huney either wines or scratches.

Mine have a doggy door, but Samson has learned to bark if I have the insert in the doggy door. I have to keep the insert in when the cats are out their room or they go exploring!

Scruffy hasn't figured it out yet, so he just waits. Bella would rather be outside, so she doesn't bark either.

Now that I have Oz and Gull, it's rare that they get to stay outside long enough to ask to come in. Don't think Gull's ever asked. Oz and Murph will scratch at the door on those rare occasions when they do have to ask.

Maddie was the one that would do whatever it took to come back inside, when she was ready. Everything from scratching, barking, whining and wood knawing. I had her and Murph outside one day, while painting inside. I heard this sawing noise. Couldn't imagine what in the world it could be. Looked out the window and there was Maddie knawing on the door frame. Wood chips were just a flying. Looked like a beaver at work. And unthinking me, I opened the door to tell her to knock it off and she trotted right on inside all happy with herself. Took me weeks to get her to stop that behavior.

My RB dog Sami used to bark to come in.

Sasha (border collie cross) just stands at the door and waits to be let in. She's got the whole house trained to wait at the door to let her back in. She's such a sweetie, no one wants to leave her outside for too long. When she comes in she immediately wants a cookie.
