How much noise does your Yorkie make? How much noise does your Yorkie make? J is a lively 11 week old and makes a rumbley approval noises when he is chasing his toys around but they are fairly low levelled and actually fairly sweet. He will sometimes finish off these chasing spurts with what I think is a bark of excitement however I do worry that our neighbours might not find them so sweet. He also cries at bed time but quitens down after 2 STOP WHINING from us. Which I think for such a young chap is fairly good. Today when we took him out to poop he wouldn't do so, so I sat him down on the sofa to put his harness on so we could take him for a walk around the garden but he went ballistic barking like a hell dog to be let down. How on earth do we deal with that? I really want to nip the barking in the bud now especially because we live in an apartment block who will ask you to move out at the 6 month review if your pet is causing a disturbance. :(:confused: |
ZoE is the most "talkative" dog I've ever had. She makes noises when she's having fun playing with her toys, she makes lil snorting sounds when you cuddle her, and the comes & "talks" to me (different barks) to let me know if something is wrong aka her "alert bark" (the fridge door has been left open & is beeping, or the hose fell out of the swimming pool and flooding the yard, etc) or to let me know she went potty aka her "demanding bark"...I want my treat for pottying where I'm supposed to! She has so much character & personality! I think it's good to let them bark some, as they seem to feel like they are doing their duty, guarding their home, but too much barking can be a problem. I tell her good girl when she barks a couple of times if someone is walking by our house, or pulls in our driveway, etc, as she's alerting me. But if she keeps barking I firmly tell her "enough!" and she stops, & I pet her & tell her what a good girl she is. You just have to be extremely repetitive & consistent with the training, and they will get it with a little time. |
Morgan is very vocal/ he barks at me when he is hungry/he cries when he wants to go to bed |
I have a quiet yorkie. He grumbles and whines to get my attention, and will cry sometimes too but it's usually low and not very loud. But for the most part he is very quiet. |
Mine are quiet unless there is some one at the door or a stray cat in the yard then you get ear piercing barks that dont last a long time but are annoying. They also do it when we have been gone and come home untill we give them some attention. All dogs are going to bark its if they bark excessively without reason to that its a problem |
Oh My chachi will also bark if a cat needs to be let in too I forgot about that |

First let me say Luma doesn't bark. She SCREAMS! Lol! Not randomly though, thank goodness. She never just barks for the heck of it. When we play with her she growls and makes the funniest noises, very aggressive sounding which is funny coming from such a sweetiepie. Sometimes when she is in a sassed up mood she'll talk to us, to tell us she wants something. She knows we're pushovers :rolleyes: |

Troy is exceptionall quiet. He sleeps all day and isn't yappy at all. He will do a grumble if someone knocks at the door. The only time he gets LOUD is when we are coming home from an outing (He stays in a crate while we are away) and he is barking as if he is saying "Hurry Hurry, I gotta pee and Oh yeah I missed you too!" |

Once they understand what it is you want, you can build up on the amount of time between the "no bark" command and the reward. Sounds like you have another issue with fear/dislike of harness. I'd deal with that much the same way. Bring the harness out and when you find a distance he tolerates, say "good dog" and reward with a treat. Then build on that, moving it closer and closer and rewarding with each success. Eventually, you should be able to lay the harness over his back and reward with a treat. Lastly, you put it on and reward with a bunch of treats. Following up with a fun activity that he likes would be even better. If he likes going outside, the reward for tolerating the harness can be a trip outside. Or even fetching a ball or playing with a toy. |
Huey is a noisemaker. He barks if there is a car driving too slowly down the street or if someone is out in the neighbors yard. Our neighbor is a cat hoarder, so he is constantly alerting us to cats in the yard. He barks at squirrels on the deck. He barks and runs to the door when a doorbell rings on the TV. If he is being ignored (like at mealtimes), he will "talk" softly, getting louder until he is told to hush, then he starts again a few minutes later. We live in a detached single family home, so it is not a problem at home, and we have learned that on vacation, we just have to rent a house instead of a condo or hotel since he barks if left alone in a strange place. I didn't really want a "yappy" dog, but he always has a reason to bark and makes a good watchdog as he alerts us to anything going on in the neighborhood. |
Joel is a man of little words, lol but when he does make a noise it's for a good reason. He goes in front of me and growls really long if I've been ignoring him too much or barks to go potty. So far he only did one warning bark in his whole life for a construction truck that parked too long in front of our house haha. Other than that he can make ALOT of noise on command, I think thats why he's so quite because I taught him to make so many different sounds, the different noises I taught him are growling, crying, talking, sneezing and he now knows the difference between bark and woof, he actualy says woof, its so cute:) |
My guys bark frequently, but I encourage that. They have "jobs" sorta, keeping an eye on the property, and are praised generously when they alarm for a legitimate reason. My new pup Ichabod has just started participating in the vocalizations. He's not exactly sure what he's barking at now, but, he'll catch on soon. :D |

I bet its adorable. |

Yoda doesn't make much noise at all! He jumped up from a dead sleep once and barked (bad dream?). And he whines a bit once in a while if he isn't getting spoiled enough. :) |
Scoovers screams like a banshee...no seriously someone reported a screaming child once...it was him whining because he was home alone...he no lobger barks I trained him to growl instead...and he's on meds for his anxiety now Elvis only yaps when there's a knockand at the door, poodle walking by, HGTV doorbell, everytime Derik comes in the room, kids do something naughty (lol he's like a trained snitch) or there's a flying or crawling intruder in the yard-namely rats, crows, mice or seagulls |
Brody is pretty quiet by himself, but Mia is more vocal with barking...even at nothing obvious, or a blade of grass blowing in the breeze...and gets Brody going, too. Brody will 'errrr' when he wants something, even your attention, and will bark if he feels he's being IGNORED (OMG!!!:eek::p:D) or wants something REALLY BAD!!! :p:D Mia will deliberately take one of 'Brody's toys'...they are all, according to Brody, "HIS" toys...even Mia's toys...lol...and then snarl and growl and errr and wag her little stubby tail while 'defending' the toy...then give it up and laugh at Brody...you can seriously see her grinning about her deceptive little trick on Brody. :p She will also 'defend' a favorite place...like the bed or the love seat. Both will bark when a kitty wants in or out, or a noise happens...lol...and Brody will bark at anyone about to get too close to his toys or his Mommy. :D But, for the most part, things are relatively quiet. |
I think Yorkies are naturally talkative. I'm convinced that Gracie thinks she can talk. She makes sounds in her throat to tell me things. Then if I don't pay attention right away she might bark at me. She does not bark a lot but when she gets excited while playing she will bark. It does sound like your dog has a problem with the harness. Does it go over his head? Some don't like anything over the head. Does he enjoy his time outside? Do you take him for a walk? Usually when they associate the harness with fun things like going for a walk or a ride in the car they start to love the harness. |
Ella is very quiet (compared to my Maltese, Lily). :rolleyes: She only barks as an alert when she hears something or sees a bird or cat in the yard. Aside from rarely barking she is an excellent whiner. She whines when she wants some attention or to be picked up, also she whines when you leave (it's almost like shes asking permission to come too!).. sometimes her whining works on us. :) |
Tatiana is a quiet yorkie. She only barks when someone comes to the door. Also, she does a low howl at me when she wants my attention. She is so quiet that sometimes people thinks she's a toy (until she moves). :) |
My Cujo barely barks, he is so sweet! He was a gift from my long time boyfriend. He tries to be friendly with other dogs, but runs back to me when they bark at him! |

Oh, and she barks at my husband anytime he enters the room! :rolleyes: |
JoJo is super vocal LOL. I think I jinxed myself on this site a few years ago when he was about 6 months old and said he is very quiet and had never barked. Wellllllll...let's just say he has definitely found his voice and has been piercing my ears with it ever since LOL. He barks at every single noise...cars, bikes, people walking by, birds, rain, leaves, my printer, the dishwasher, you name it! He also play growls with his toys and makes his own funny noises to get my attention. Oh, and sometimes he dream barks too LOL. |
