Winnie didn't use to bark...we had to encourage it so that we knew when she had to go to the bathroom. (By "encouraging" I mean that my husband and I would bark, and then she would copy, we're weird, I know, but it worked). As for knowing when your puppy's hurt, you just need to study her behavior. You'll notice right away if she's not herself. But if she's in pain she'll cry or whine, she just hasnt felt the need to do that yet. Hope that helps. |
