I have two miniature poodles and if my toddler son is watching television they bark whenever an animal comes on screen. I can't watch a program that features dogs because they bark all the way thorough it. Secret barks when he hears the postman drop letters though the letter box. When I take them for walks Magic gets excited a barks at large dogs.
When does you dog bark?
Would they bark if you watched a program with animals on it?
How does your dog react to the postman?

My dog always barks whenever there is truck or big cars passing by. She will only bark at certain people, which I do not really know how she applies the judgment, perhaps she thinks someone is more suspicious.
She does bark at us when she needs attention, or she wants to play with us. She doesn't bark if I'm watching any program with animals on it. I am not sure if she barks at the postman.

My dog loves to watch programs that have animals on it and he doesn’t bark. He only barks when he sense that someone is outside our house or whenever a person he don’t know enter our property. He would only stops when he was told to do so. My dog is a loud barker and sometimes it hurts my ears. Good thing he always follow us. My dog doesn’t bark at the other dog unless he is threatened or if they are playing.

i used to have a pomenarian dog and she only barks when there is a stranger comes to my house... she loves to play with people... she licks, barks and jumps at every stranger that comes to my house... my hubby used to be so scared to come to my house in the house when we are still dating because of my dog... take care and have a nice day...

We have a box for our post just outside the door but they always hear the postman put letters in it and bark! They don't bark at the TV but do sit and watch it if animals of any kind are on it! x

Our dog is very irritating he barks all the time, whenever someone pass by in our street he always bark! And while we are eating he barks until our maid feed him. That's the only time he stops barking. Also when he see a cat or any other dog! He barks widely and I will throw my slippers to hiim but sometimes he don't stop barking! What a dog!

I have a cocker spaniel (Oreo) and a australian silky terrier(Coco). Oreo barks the most, perhaps he is a male dog. He bark early in the morning when a flight just crossed by our roof top daily with the Oooooo sounds. Always, when he does this, Coco will follow as well. It's like they are singing. Whenever the heard somebody coming to my house, both of them get excited, they barks and jumping around. I always have hard time to go to the door. Oreo always bark at dogs larger than him. It's actually very noisy around the neighborhood when I bring him for stroll at nearby garden. Coco is much more obedient in that sense. I have read some article, they said if the dog bark at the bigger dog, it's because he want to hide his fear. I don't know how true it it. :)

My dog used to bark whenever someone knocked on the door. He usually did not stop unless we told him it is ok.

Hi Maxine, Just as I was reading this discussion I am watching the Dog Whisperer on TV too and my puppy heard barking and immediately ran back from the TV LOL so I guess he is gonna be that way too. Up to now other than the day he discovered his bark he only barks to let me know he needs to go out. He hasn't barked at the doorbell or anything yet. Huggles. Ellie :D

my dog is a golden lab (you can see him in my profile picture), but he never barks much, sometimes if someone knocks at the door, but he thinks everyone is his friend human or animal. He's a silly soft dog haha

I have a Toy Poodle, and he barks all the time. If a noise atrtles him, when someone is at the door, when he's trying to get my attention, or if he's doing something he shouldn't and you tell him not to, he'll bark then. He barks a lot, sometimes he will not stop. Like all week, they have been repairing the roof here, so you could hear the men walking and working on it. He would not stop barking. It was so annoying, and he was really getting on my nerves. I could tell him to stop, but it didn't make a difference.
