| Miko never barks at people, ever! Unless he's trying to talk to them But that's not really a bark...It's so cute and funny! Emma, my maltese, on the other hand, barks at the tiniest little noise. She definitely barks at people passing by. She's our little guard dog!

| Winston barks at people, cars, kids on bikes,animals, anything that moves, but he only does this while looking out the windows at them. If he's out in public he wants nothing to do with anybody or anything, but me, never barks when we're away from home territory, I find it peculiar, that when he meets up with someone or an animal, he'll ignore them, actually walk all the way around them just to avoid them, funniest thing I ever saw.

| Trained to Bark-"Guard Dog"! All 3 of mine bark at Strangers and they also growl at the same time. But I only Trained my female Abigail to do it. My other 2, the male Artie and Tiffany, their baby that is only 8 months old only go into "Guard Dog" or Attack mode when she does, she's the Instigator! She gets them excited, they will also do it on command......"Look who's that"? or "What's that"? Our backyard is not fenced in and we live right next door to the DogPark. There is alot of car and foot traffic all around our house so I don't mind when they do it naturally, in fact I feel pretty safe knowing they are alert! |

| Yep, at anyone passing -- they do it if they see someone from the windows inside the house as well as if they are in the yard and someone passes.

| Something else I have noticed, Winston's bark is totally different, when my husband's not home, and we are there alone. He gets a "vicious" sound to his bark, I think that's when he is on "Guard Duty" he's my little protector while his daddy's gone, that's his job...

| This is going to sound bad but Luna is a bit of a racist for the entire time we have had her(almost 2 years) if she is in the yard she will only bark at African-Americans its really quite embarassing.

| We have woods in back of our yard, so she doesn't have much to bark at besides squirrels rabbits and raccoons and stuff, but when the neighbors are outside, she goes crazy

| My girls are not too much of barkers. They bark mostly at night when we are in bed. They make great little alarm systems!
