Great Post Capt!! You said it well!! I agree with Capt_noonie It is extremly hard to train them not to bark, but it can be done. Peanut is the same way as Uni, he will bark when he feels something is not right, someone knocks, hears someone outside that he doesnt know... etc The only other time is when he is playing and he wants me to throw his bone, but I will tell him "Shh" and he will growl. I love that Peanut listen to what is going on outside and will inform me when something is not right, I am by myself at night due to DH working a lot and it keeps me some what safe!!
