| i am barking because i love people so much! milu loves people. she loves people more than she loves dogs. it you asked her she can go play with other doggies, or get pet by some stranger. she will pick the stranger any day. unfortunately, not every one loves dogs. the problem is that milu will start barking and waggling her tail and shaking when people ignore her. she really really wants that pet BAD! i was at blockbuster the other day with milu getting a movie, milu started barking, so i started to head out the store, because i didn't want to annoy other people. as i was walking out, i heard a guy say really softly "ankel biter" i laughed because milu would never bite anyone, no matter what you do to her. (the trainer tried to get her to be mean, to show her teeth and growl because milu is small, and the trainer wants her to be able to protect herself by being assertive if need be, but the trainer gave up and said that there is not a mean bone in milu's body) but, i am sure that guy at blockbuster was probably not being humorous. he was probably being a JERK. how can i get milu to stop acting like a crazy dog(shaking, waggling tail, and barking) every time she sees people. some people hate small dogs, and will say mean thing. and it's not good to bark at people ever anyways, even if it's because she wants to play. people don't know what her barks mean, only mommy and daddy do.

| Phoebe love people, cats and dogs, and when she see them from far way she start barking until they get close then she start waging her tail, she is been like that since a pup, I have try to make her stop, thank God that Melody and Shayna aren't like that, they love people, cats and dogs too, sometime they do what Phoebe do but most of the time they don't. I was the other day in a pet store and this guy told me ankle bitters, I look at him directly to his eyes and very firmly told him that my girls are NOT ankle bitters they those kind of behavior was NO allowed in my house, you should seen his face he was so embarrass didn't know what to do or say, hahahhaha

| :D I'm sorry but that is just TOO cute!!! I love their little barks. I have no idea what you could do for that... I guess it would scare some people, annoy them or make them question your dog. My fur baby barks at people.... when shes around me... I wish she wouldn't do it. I know she's protecting me, I've got to work on her barking. But she barks at other dogs when they ignore her and she wants to play... she even barks at my cats! I don't know what to tell you but if I saw Milu and she was barking at me I'd give her tons of pets! Who could resist a face like that. Oh yeah that jerk! BOO! He doesn't know what he's missing. Good luck finding a solution though!

well, when milu was going to puppy I, the trainer told me that in order to train them to be quiet on command. you have to first train them to bark on command as well. i haven't work with milu that much. but it will take patience and time. and you know how it's a lot harder to get them to listen to a command when they are excited as well. but i think with time and enough good treats, we might be able to do it!

Haha... I've been trying to work on her barking on command.... sometimes she does it. It's so cute cuz it's not a full on bark. I'll tell her to speak and she'll make this lil growl and then when I ask her again she'll bark. I gotta get her to do it all the time.
