I'm proud of my dog barking (and not at what you think).

Posted by ceregon Aug 3 '09, 12:51

This weekend, a cat and a possum got into it in my back yard. Bobby woke me up and went to the window and barked at them. Once I was out of bed, he ran into my roommate's room and barked at him until he got up. Now I know if there's a fire or something bad going on, he'll make sure everybody is up.

The possum chased off the cat, and then I had to get rid of the possum, who stupidly chose to charge me rather than run away. My dog saw it and was so happy with this that when I gave him a rawhide stick as his reward, he jumped up on my bed and tried to put it in my mouth.

Not bad for a borderline retarded dog.

Responses:

my mom's dog only barks as a warning (someone's outside, something weird is going on, etc.), so the best way to get him to shut up is praise. - mafic Aug 3, 13:03 1
- exactly, if he barks at something outside, making eye contact and letting him know that you are aware of it works...unless... - ceregon Aug 3, 13:07
But really, when are a cat and a possum going to start a fire? (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 13:00

- Usually they run away. My old corgi killed them regularly and they avoided my yard, but now they seem to think it's safe again. - ceregon Aug 3, 13:03

I spilled hot coffee on my dog this morning, 'cause I'm an idiot. But because his coat is so thick it never reached his skin - decline Aug 3, 12:53 1
