My puppy isn't barking? Hi everyone! I'm new to this board and new as a yorkie owner. We got our puppy about a month ago and she's just such a cutie and the whole family loves her. She's 5 months old so I got her when she was 4 months old. We're working on housetraining (it's going a bit slowly!) but my question is... In the month that I've had her, I've never heard her bark. She doesn't whine either. Ever. I have heard her growl sometimes when she plays with her toys but is it unusual to have a yorkie that doesn't bark? Thank you! |
Wow! Feel blessed bc I have a 6 yr old Jack-a-poo who barks for everything! I am considering private training bc I can't take it anymore. I was told sometimes it takes them a while to learn that they can bark and if they don't have other dogs around them to learn it, sometimes they won't bark for a long while. |
LOL sorry for the chuckle but I thought the samething when I brought Buddy home at 3 1/2 mos. He didn't find his voice untill about 6mos old. One night I heard a very loud dog bark and couldn't beleive it was him. It sounded like a german shepard! Give her time she'll find her voice, then you'll need to train her, No Barking. Some don't bark too much, maybe you'll be lucky. Congratulations and good luck, |
Enjoy the quiet while it lasts..... sooner or later she will discover her voice. At first you'll think it's cute then you just hope she doesn't use it too much. :) |
Darn. I was hoping she would stay a nice quiet dog since I hadn't heard her so far! :) Thanks for the input!! |
Mine was whining immediately. Sounded like a mouse in the house.:D |
First time I hear of someone wanting their dog to bark !:D Enjoy the quiet while it lasts. Mine found their voice around 6 months and never stopped since (grrr.) Hope yours stays that way. Good luck. Yorkies are just yappers by nature. |
Enjoy it now! |

We got Kona last August when she was 7 years old. My husband didn't hear her bark for 3 days! She is not a barker, she only does it when someone rings the doorbell or when she hears my husband open the garage door. Maybe you will have one like mine that isn't a big barker! :D She is the BEST dog! |
The yorkies I had years ago when they were my only dog rarely barked. I could go months with out hearing Zorro or Gracie bark. Then I got a pom and wow talk about barking. Then each new dog I brought in learned to bark from her. So maybe your baby will be a quiet one!! |
Cerise has been quiet since she's been home (2 weeks now) but she has whined at me me a few times because I was taking to long to get ready for us to go out the door :D I'm enjoying the peace and quiet. |
My old Ginger scared herself right under the bed the first time she barked! I've never had a more quiet, loving dog than my Ginger, she rarely barked. |
Sugar never bark until 7th months :rolleyes: And now she LOVES to bark |
LOL....Shay never barks (he just turned one) first time I ever heard him was when, we brought Bella home a few weeks ago..... Bella on the other hand is 12 weeks old and she sounded like a 100 pound dog, when we brought her home...lol...we have "I PRAY" cured that...by not showing any attention to her when she does it...and knock on wood, havent heard it in a week! |
