when your dog barks,, you say??????

My girls aren't barkers so on the rare occasion when one does bark...usually Katie I know that something is going on and I need to take a look. I usually just give her a pat on the head and thank her for letting me know something out of the ordinary is going on.

Now, when it comes to play time that is when we have all the noise. Its mostly Tori and I wouldn't call it barking. That girl makes some silly and goofy noises...lol. That is when I give out a holler...usually..."GIRLS" Usually I'm too happy watching them play and listening to all those goofy sounds to even holler at them...LOL

I start out nice and calm, with a "hush", or "quiet," which escalates to "QUIET" "STOP IT" or "SHUT UP", and eventually just leads to "ABBEY GET IN THIS HOUSE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!"

Abbey's my barker, and it's so often at nothing outside. I do have neighbors, you know

Funny story though--one evening, the dogs were outside, and I was in doing something. All of a sudden I heard a howl, and a deep barkiing--it was Riley!!!! I ran out, because he's not much of a barker, and his tone made me nervous, and there he was, standing on the deck, howling into the sky. There were 2 hot air balloons floating in the air, and I suppose he's never seen them before, and he did NOT like them--I had to bring him inside

LOL! I'll have to try that one!

Molly's my barker. Daisy rarely barks, but sometimes Molly gets her going. I'll either say "NO! Hush!", or "NO BARKING!", and when she finally stops, and she comes to the door wanting to be let in, I say "Didja scare off all bad guys?" and she'll give me a satisfied smile.
