But I usually let him bark but stop him if he should go overboard which he usually doesn't. He's got a rich, full dog's life so he doesn't obsess that much barking endlessly at things, even if something persists. He'll stop after a bit and just watch/listen and sometimes growl or bark a bit if the situation goes on and on. He's usually more interested in what I'm up to and how he can help or involve himself in the goings on of the house but he is a very, very good watch dog. At night, he only barks at what he thinks are strange or intrusive noises he can't place as everyday and I so appreciate having him. |
Kaji usually growls when I'm sleeping. He's letting me know there's an intruder* but he doesn't let the intruder know we know he's there.
*intruder is usually one of my brothers getting in really late.
