my 3 y/o adopted Cody barks at everything, toaster pops up, BARKS, I use a coffee bean grinder, BARKS, turn on ceiling fan BARKS, coffee maker makes a gargle noise, BARKS, phone rings, BARKS, not to mention looking out of the window, see birds, squirrels, chip monks, someone walking on the road, BARKS. Any unusual sound BARKS, I just tell him it's ok. I don't discourage barking, it's a warning sign, what if I discourage his barking and a stranger enters my property, I want to be warned, his barking makes me aware something is going on. Yes he will bark in the middle of the night and wakes me up, not happy about that, but he is doing his job. He is not a constant barker, he is just doing his job.
