We have a major bark net here in suburbia.
Frequently, Charlie is not even the first to bark so it seems to be just the
usual people out walking dogs who are being greeted by every dog up and down
the block. Sometimes there are so many different voices that I actually
ran into a neighbor I had not seen for a while who did not realize that I
still had Pyrs because she had not heard them! Go figure! They have
the biggest voices of all but were being drowned out by all the yappers!
Or maybe had been to day care often enough that they really were quieter that
week. The only thing that works for me to reduce the barking is to
take them to daycare where they can stay out doors all day and guard the rest
of the pack. Then they are too tired to do much guarding at home unless
it is really important. The mail delivery has changed times – instead of around
noon, it is now 3:30 or 4 or 5 or even 6 so Charlie spends a lot of time
waiting to scare the mail carrier away. He relaxes after he has done his
duty so the new schedule is really creating havoc here. Amy with Charlie, Sweetie and Harry Pugger From: owner-pyrnet-l@pyrnet.org
[mailto:owner-pyrnet-l@pyrnet.org] On Behalf Of DEBRA L SLOCUM We live in subura-country. Our neighbors know our Pyr
Inka barks and keep track of what is going on in the neighborhood.
Even some of them know the difference between her barks. We bring
her in around 10pm. After that she now knows it is bedtime. But if
an animal is around our property, she will bark no matter the hour. And
she hates it when they coyotes are around. I am curious - do others have a 'Bark-net?' Sometimes
she starts barking and I will go outside and you can hear the other dogs also
barking. WRT chewing - ours gave it up overnight about a month ago at
18 months. She has really matured in the past few weeks. She even
now looks like a grown up Pyr. When she lays out on the ground in the
yard she looks like the true Pyr on guard duty. But she still acts
like a puppy when she greets us. Deb On Mar 27, 2010, at 8:59 PM, Bluebonnet wrote:
