| Mine sometimes bark when they hear other dogs barking on TV, but I have head sets and just mute the TV and I can continue listening.

| Khloe will bark at any animal on the television if she sees it. She even barks at the cartoon animals. I do not know how she knows it's an animal... but she wants to protect us from all those crazy animals. She's even gone behind the tv to attack them but so far she hasn't had any luck catching them

| mine bark at the tv animals, they bark when we are watching a movie and they hear a knock on the doors there or hear.. but the cutest of all is when they discover the dog in the back mirror of my curio cabinet.. we crack up at them when they keep running back to see if they are still there

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | YES, lol! Marcel does not like people with white hair on TV and he barks at them and gets full of all sorts of drama. During the last presidential campaign with John McCain - oh my - he just went bonkers!

| Mine she was 11 and like to watch tv. wheel of fortune she played along not sure why but we'd turn that on for her. she also got the same way with survivor and escape to chimp eden I actually have a video of her barking at the tv for that commercial for that bark off product. my moms rescue he'd charge her floor model tv ready to attack...he learned after a few times not to run into the screen that it hurt. I used to tell mine...shhhhh or a quick tschhh and softly say inside voices please My husband swore if you yelled at a yorkie it set them off more it seems to work with my new little girl as well My binky was smart as a whip and funny she'd tune it down to a really quiet bark and her body would move with each one...her inside voices bark we used to call it...lol |

Thor's Human Donating Member | Thor barks at tv door knocks and doorbells. Then he gets really upset because I don't get up to guard the door. He starts growling in a very worried way, like, "we're all going to die! Human, do something!"

| yes, Buzz & Apple bark at dogs that bark, whine or cry on t.v....I can't remember what commercial it was, w/a doorbell (I blocked it out of my memory lol) but it sent my crew off like a bottle rocket, AND, the durn commercial seemed to have been on a million times a day! I swore, I'd never buy any product w/a doorbell commercial... |

Maybe he just wanted you to know which way his vote went. Snickers barks at other dogs on the TV...and has also barked at monkey's and chickens and. of course, door bells. He also gets upset if he hears someone screaming on TV. Recently, he has started barking more at certain men's voices. I listen to a lot of talk radio and there was one particular ad that seemed to be on all the time. For whatever reason, Snickers went absolutely NUTS whenever it would come on. Drove me crazy. I'd have to turn the radio off really fast. I still have no idea what bothered him so much about it. | |

| My Yorkie Poo, Gidgit, barks at the dogs on Cesar Milan at the beginning of the show. Once Cesar has worked with the dogs and they become `balanced` she doesn`t bark at them any more?! |

| Nope. He doesn't. He likes to watch other dogs on TV though. He does bark sometimes if it's a loud door knock or a doorbell on TV, lol. Dork.
