Oscar is the opposite - whines sometimes, but has never barked. He's so eerily quiet sometimes - really strange to play with a dog who doesn't bark or anything, just kinda snorts. The lack of him "communicating" with me when he wants/needs something has really taught me to be 'in tune' with his body language - to know when he needs to get off the couch to run to his pee pad or get a drink of water, know when he wants to play (that's an easy one!), etc.
I doubt there's anything wrong with your pup at all - maybe he's just decided that plain old whining won't get his message across as well as a nice loud bark! |
