Bella does the same thing. The first time she did I about fell out of my chair. Never seen a dog to do that before. :-)

Jackson WATCHES TV but never barks at it. He has on occasion barked at someone ringing a doorbell though, or knocking a door but I mostly put a stop to that -- was VERY annoying and uncute, lol!

Gwenni does this as well.... we won't even think she's watching TV then will go crazy when an animal on all fours comes on. It doesn't even have to be a dog. It does get annoying, because she'll carry on FOREVER...

We've found that she's scared of loud noises so to correct her I'll grab something that makes a loud noise and she'll stop. We praise her when she stops barking and tell her good "quiet," and now she's started responding to just the word "Quiet" and I don't have to grab anything.

Hi, I've been away for a while. Reesie still does all of the above, and the other day we even watched a dog movie on TV called "Skip". Sometimes I'll tell her 'let's see if there a dog show on' and she'll jump on the couch next to me and watch the screen until I find the Animal Planet. Then she goes nuts!
