Ozzie barks at anything that walks by the door (when it's open), at loud noises, at other barking dogs, when the phone rings, when someone is visiting, when it's time to eat ... he is QUITE vocal. And when the mailman comes, oh God. Don't go there!:eek: I know he hears lots of things that we don't. Some nights, he will lay there and just growl. Sometimes I never know at what. Other times, there will be a few minutes delay and I will hear one of my neighbors coming home so I know he heard them before they ever got out of the car. |
Mine bark like crazy |
What I really wanted to ask about was if they have to COME GET YOU, when they see something. He doesn't just bark and then stop. He has to specifically tell me, no matter where I am in the house. Aren't Yorkies the best!!! |
Yep. I am frequently "summoned" to see whatever it is that has started the commotion. |
Ellie sits on the back of the couch and looks out the window a lot. If she sees anything AT ALL that moves she will bark and bark and bark. Sometimes she has to go to the laundry in the middle of this and sniff by the backdoor. She does come and alert us on occasion. |
Not only do they alert me if someone is outside. They alert me when no one is there, or at least I don't see anyone. Sometimes I think they see spirits & start barking. They'll lay there & growl, & their eyes look like their following someone.:eek: |
Yes Buddy barks when he hears a noise of any kind or senses another dog outside. He can sense a dog with the windows closed:D which amazes me and will do that low growl kinda barking. At night he will do a very low growl because he knows I'm sleeping when he senses a deer or other animal outside. Yorkies are great guard dogs aren't they? |
Try living in an apartment with one! The people above us and people/cars in the parking lot are soo loud... and Carson barks at EVERYTHING! Even if it's the slightest little sound. To make is worse, the mailboxes are RIGHT outside of our door so everyday at 11:00am when the mailman comes Carson goes insane! He even knows the sound of the mail truck pulling up! Then all day long when people get their mail he barks like crazy. Sooooo annoying but ya gotta love him :) |
Max thinks his job is Guardian of the Universe. It's a good thing we live on the 6th floor of an apartment building. He's very quiet for the most part, but if something is going on on our floor, he immediately stops and listens, decides if it requires his super powers, he barks for a while, comes to get me if he feels my intervention is necessary. I have to look through the peephole and let him know that we will live yet another day. Sometimes my word isn't to be trusted though, and he has to go back and bark some more. He chooses which outside noises are to be allowed without his guardianship. I have no idea what he bases these decisions on, but I'm so glad when he lets it go. He really is like a TV show. I love watching him. |

If Horatio hears something or happens to be near a window sees something outside he will bark and run around. And sometimes he will run to me all excited. I call it his "watch dog mode" and that's fine with me. It usually takes him a few minutes to settle down. |
