Question:
It's been really funny. All of the people in the puppy class where we take Sammy once a week have puppies that bark already. Up until tonight Sammy hadn't really figured out that he could bark, even with all of the other puppies around him who expressed themselves. Tonight while I was sitting on the couch and he was was minding his business and playing with some of his many toys he started growling at the toy and barked at it several times. So much for having a quiet little puppy. LOL He seems to be really enjoying his toys tonight. He's been exercising his vocal cords right now too!


Answer:
Uh oh! You're in trouble now!


Answer:
I know what you mean, about the first time a puppy barks!
I have one that I didn't think would ever bark! when she started I just wished she would stop. One thing I can say is with 13 mini doxies, no one can get in our house without us being alerted!

Answer:
We knew it was going to happen. We were just hoping it would be later than sooner. lol We're not expecting him to be a guard dog or anything, he's a little Shih Tzu. He likes visitors too much!

How cute! Puppy barks are so funny.


Answer:
I just LOVE hearing a puppy's first barks. It is when they get about 3 months old that they start seeming like a problem!
