Joel did his first bark out the window. He normaly will bark when he wants to see someone really bad, but this was his first protecting bark.
There was a construction truck parked out front, he was watching it on the back of the couch for a long time but I just ignored him. Then a couple minutes later he barked once, it was so cute. It was like he was syaing "okay you've been there too long!" He knew it was wierder than usual.
So I went in the room and he was just sitting in the middle of the floor waiting to see what I was gonna say, and I said "what is it?" and he went to the window and I pretended to check(like I didn't know what it was, lol)
Then I said "Okay good boy, now no more barking" and he watched it some more without barking. I was praising him alot for being quite, then he just went to sleep,
I thought it was cute that his first bark was something he knew was out of the usual, and he didn't bark after I checked and said okay
I hope it stays this easy and doesn't get worse
