I find it comforting that Max will bark if someone is at the door. He also barks to let me know if he wants out to go potty, not all of the time, but most of the time. If he wants something that is not in the same room as he is, he will bark and show me. Or if he wants a drink.
Okay, it is pretty annoying when he barks, just to have me play with him, but I don't think I'd like him to be quiet all the time. I don't believe that dogs don't communicate by barking, because he does communicate by barking.
Max is only a pup, but we are starting to understand each other. I mostly know what he wants, and I think he is going to be a good little alerter.
He's 9 lbs lol.
