kper Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Our daughter's pit woofs at the slightest sound and has been staying with us for almost a year. Now Ahna barks! What the heck?! Door bell rings.... bark. Hears kids in the street... bark. Wants us to play... bark... talk, talk, talk, bark! It's not a lot of barks mind you, just one or maybe two but.... really? Is she ruined for life? Is there no hope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICE & SHADOW Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) She is still a dog, and dogs bark....so why would she be ruined? Every dog is different, Shadow barks at people, and sounds....Ice barks when he wants something.

HuskyMom09 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Good lord you should hear mine around feeding time! A bark or two is absolutely normal for a dog, let the dog be a dog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Mine never barked actually, but I know some huskies that do. It's not rare for a husky to bark, especially when around other dogs that do, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Daughtry never barks, She will "talk" some times. Darwin Woos at you then if after a while he doesn't get what he's after will issue a single bark. Malaki woos and barks in equal amounts. However he barks at echo to get her to go play in the garden. Echo Barks if someone knocks on the door. Or if someone she doesn't know approaches us in the street and makes some sort of contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I haven't hear Mollie bark yet... She just woos when she wants something. But it's only our first week together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povodny Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 We had a fairly quiet house aside from Togo the chewbacca an Safi the weewa. People could come and go with barely a ripple. Since getting Peppa things have changed, she's quite nervous for a husky and yips at the slightest thing. This in turn makes everyone else jump up and join the party lol. On a positive note, at least now if a burglar walks in we'd be alerted. Previously they'd have been able to walk in like any other family member :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian brown Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 My Collies have always barked, Mishka hasn't really until the other day. I noticed a small bark at Tango to get him to play. Yesterday I was on the PC & she came into the bedroom, play-bowed & barked at me, wanting me to play, waiting ready to run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basketcase687 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 LOL,Mystie never shuts up,and barks her head off daily!!.Couldn't keep her quiet if we tried,she definitely barks for the other 3!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kper Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I certainly wasn't being too serious about her being ruined, she's just the first husky in 30 years for us that seems to bark more than she woos. It was a weak attempt at humor after a long day of work - evident by my botched thread title! One thing she does do for us... when she gets on a barking kick, mostly when she's trying to get us to play, I can say, "Shhhhhhh" and she'll quiet down. That's usually when she talks a "why I outta..." at us. Gotta love their antics even if it's just the way they communicate with us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simhauu Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 That's okay, I was told Ghost's father even protects his house, luckily Ghost gets scared of his own silhouette in the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranormal Wolf Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 My boys all have different levels of vocalization. Kuma my husky will do almost everything. He'll whine when he wants out of the kennel. He'll bark sometimes too. And on rare occasions he'll make the woo woo noises. Koopa my pit bull is mostly quiet. He'll whine sometimes and maybe bark/grunt when playing. Tenchi my pekingese is the most vocal. He'll whine, bark and grumble haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kper Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Koopa my pit bull is mostly quiet. He'll whine sometimes and maybe bark/grunt when playing. Just the opposite here. I think our daughter's pit bull started Ahna down the barking path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Skye barks properly and Shadow talks mostly but hes very very chatty around other dogs at meets etc and has a mixture of woos barks and growls (all good growls i may add there!)

Erinc Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Plenty of grumbles, woos in our house when something is needed... If you hear a bark, then you know he's being serious lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austinville Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 [MENTION=5551]kper[/MENTION]s Your post made me chuckle. With my first husky, we'd beg him to bark and he'd then loudly "WOOF". Then, I would tell him he was hurting my ears and he should be more quiet. And he'd 'woof' in a whisper. Then, just to get him going, I would tell him I couldn't hear him - and we were back to "WOOF". It was a fun game for both of us.........silly as it sounds. Ryn isn't much of a 'woofer' at all, it's rare that she even sings when I come home from work - she'd rather pounce on my and make me fall down so she can kiss me to death! Gosh I love that girl!

Paranormal Wolf Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Just the opposite here. I think our daughter's pit bull started Ahna down the barking path. Our first pit bull Bowser use to bark and alert us when someone came to the door so I kinda expected Koopa would do the same but low and behold he's really quiet except for the rare bark or grunt if playing lol. He doesn't bark at all when someone comes round, neither does Kuma. Our noisy little bugger is Tenchi haha. I do wish they would alert us when someone came to the door but what can you do. Even though Tenchi does they others don't follow suit at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
