Beowulf Hardly Barks - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Teddy doesn't bark, sounds more like loud growling with howls

He only "barks" when someone rings the doorbell or knocks at the door or if there's a cat in the backyard that doesn't belong lol.

Of course it would help if he stays this calm and quiet forever.

Luckily (not so lucky?) for me, Scottie only barks when he's on the leash during our walks. But when I have him in my dog purse carrier, he's as silent as ever! It's awesome. He can be such a good boy sometimes. That's why I take him everywhere with me

Friends and family are always in shock that he's with me because he's completely silent in the bag.

LOL! That is exactly what Beowulf does Growls and loud Growls he's always growling! See I would like him to bark when there is someone
at the door but instead he just runs towards it

He barks when we put him in his cage that is the only time because he wants out! Lol

That is so great! When I took him to a restaurant for the first time in the carrier he just kept pawing and scratching to get out lol then I gave him a couple of firm No's and he stopped

I just hope he stays this way his breeder did say he was the calmest and quietest out of all the puppies.

At what age do they typically begin to bark? I have an 8 week old.

I always keep an antler dog chew and a no-squeaker dog toy in his bag so he has something to play with if he's bored

Don't you just love it when they know they're being bad and actually listens? haha.. Hope Beowulf stays calm and quiet!

If they end up being a barking baby, I'd say you'll hear them discovering their voices during their adolescence (6 months to 2 years).

Sophie isn't to bad for barking but she never barked till she was seven months at all . Now she barks when someone is at the door or if another dog walks by the house and she sees them.

Mario rarely barks now, and I actually discourage barking because he is a service dog. They are to be almost completely silent when out. No whining, barking or growling when out as a service dog.

We have a big dog outside who has run of our yard who handles security. When the big dog barks, Mario used to bark too, I would tell him firmly but gently "stand down, let Bailey handle it". Now Mario hardly ever barks inside the house, but he still runs like crazy to look out the picture window to see what Bailey is barking at

.

The only times Mario does bark now is if one of us goes into kiddos room at night. Then he barks just a bit when the door handle is jiggled, and I do not discourage that since it rarely is much (stops when we say his name) nor does it usually wake up kiddo.
