What do you find worse than a barking dog?

Since dogs don't have sweat glands like us, they cool themselves by aspiration or panting... also since dogs are a lot smarter than Humans think they are, they will also learn to over-do a habit if they think that it annoys you... it gets them attention, even negative attention, which they crave... Some dog breeds are natural smart-a**es and some are clowns- dogs have personalities and moods and varying levels of sanity and insanity just like us... and I love them all dearly! :) Dogster for you: http://www.dogster.com Maybe you'll get some good advice over there for your situation... Good luck! :)

My dogs are always licking and nibbling on themselves...It drives me bonkers...Dogs pant because it is the only way they have to cool down..They can't sweat like we can..

Arrghh!! Mine does that too. And I know she's only doing it to get my attention. She doesn't bark or yelp or anything...but pant REALLY loud...and REALLY close to me to get my attention. Once I give her the attention, she stops doing it. It's SO annoying. Usually, I just ignore her cos' I don't want her to think that that is the only way to get my attention. The other annoying thing she likes to do is to lick herself continuously...very loudly!! And she likes to do this in the middle of the night lying next to my bed. Arrgghh!!

What is worse than a barking dog for me? Ahhhmm lemmie think.. (Pause) Well, i find those 10babies that crying at the same time and nobody can stop them. That would be so noisy and if i am in that situation, i really don't know what should i do. I mean, i had experience to witness myself those 5babies in the nursery room when i had my OJT in hospital and there was 5 babies crying all at the same time. It was really noisy and it was hardly can't stop them that easy. So what more to have 10 crying babies at the same time? OMG i would freak out maybe! LOL Have a nice day wisconsin... Kiko

I thought that was the way dogs sweat. I am not sure, but I have heard that. They sweat threw their toung, so they pant. And for the original question.....I think that a dogs barking is the worst! I'd rather have panting than barking.

i feel bad when i see the dog wanting to scratch it's sself where it cant reach and some times rolling on it's back. smiles, apple.

Yakking humans are much worse.Is the dog overweight or having a kidney issue?Maybe they should see a vet.

u will never find any thing whic is worse than a barking dog. i am sure in this

What do I find to be worse than a barking dog??? A drooling dog....a snoring hubby....a neighbor plowing the field in the middle of the night....teenagers asking for money.....teenagers on the phone for hours. Ok, that is enough. LOL

Maybe he has asthma??? No? Maybe? Anyway...I have a cat and I really find it extremely annoying when he meaws repeatedly. He meaws way too much! It drives me insane!

Let it know that every dog in Lord's house think himself like a tiger. But the true fact is that is really a dog. This is also applicable for a class for people..!!

Construction works at night in your neighborhood when you are trying to sleep after a long hours of works and stress. Did that ever happend to you? It was really really irritating and absolutely annoying.

What's worse than a barking dog? I think a crying, screaming child having a temper tantrum is much worse.

I think something even more worse than a barking dog would be a lot of barking dogs, you know that some people have more than one dog or in the night when just a dog start to barking it seems like all the dog in the neighborhood start to do the same thing, I think a good way to make your do stop to barking would be getting tired her in the day so in the night she only will want to sleep.

A whining one. :) Georgia the basset is the whiniest dog I know. If "papa" is outside and she's not, if he's up and she's still in her crate(she sleeps in a crate at night), if you have pizza and she doesn't, and often for no obvious reason at all-she has this reedy little super-annoying whimper she can employ almost nonstop-not a typical dog's begging whine-but an almost quiet one that grows and grows under your skin...And I know she's doing it on purpose; she stops-for a while-when she's told to. :)

Dog-wise, I hate when my dog gets on a nibbling/licking himself binge. He will nibble, lick, then snort because his nose is covered by his own body and that can go on all night sometimes. He doesn't have fleas so I have no idea why he does that but I go crazy. He sleeps in my bed so all I hear is nibble,licklicklick, nibble, snort (repeat all night). I think it is the only time I tell him to cut out what he is doing. I would be somewhat concerned if he panted a lot. I was a vet's assistant and usually that meant more than just an attempt to gain attention. They can have fevers and actually feel very warm inside and pant like we sweat. If your dog keeps it up, I would see a vet to be sure it isn't something medical. It's unusual for dogs to do that for attention and uncomfortable for them. Other than dog stuff, I HATE when my neighbor mows his lawn directly outside of my bedroom window at 8 a.m on Sunday. There really should be a law against that. I have sworn silently at him for years because of it. I hate noise like that when I am sleeping and I go to bed very late, sometimes 6 a.m. so an 8 a.m. Sunday wake up call is not welcome especially by way a souped up lawn mower that seems like it is in my head and not outside.

What do i find worse than a barking dog? One that never stop barking.
