re: Do you scold your dog for barking at people?

I’m such a lucky dog owner. Our Husky/GSD mix won’t bark at anyone, even if they knock or ring the doorbell. I can make him bark by doing a Husky “awoooooo” for several seconds. But that’s it. It’s a quiet home. ??

When we’re in the truck mine considers anybody that’s not in a vehicle a threat. He barks at walkers, joggers, or anyone on a skateboard, bike, motorcycle, etc. even the young girls taking orders at chick fil a. It’s embarrassing and I’ve hit him for it but outside of the truck he loves everybody.

Yes, because it is loud and annoying to ME. Their barks are not going to scare away a single person. In addition, one of my dogs barks her head off if a leaf falls to the ground within a half mile radius, so it gets old very quickly.

I give her a treat when she barks at anyone not expected. Even delivery people. She’s doing exactly what I want her to do. Alert of us of anyone unexpected on the property.

My massive dog has a bark that could make someone soil their pants and lets it loose at people at the front door - but if I open the door he stops and backs away behind me to hide. Has absolutely no attack mode in him.
So I just call him a pussy.

She only barks at people when they knock on the door which I’m perfectly fine with because she stops when I tell her to. As far as her being outside, she doesn’t bark at people or other dogs but people tend to give her a wide berth even behind a fence because she’s a 130 pound Rottweiler

He loves me and is by my side all of the time. But he also loves walks and free snacks more than me. He would definitely be the first to eat me if I were dead.

No, I learned as a 16 year old with a derby lab, that if my dog barked at someone there was a damned good reason... even if she was hot...

No, not for random people or strangers that come to the door. The only time I scold my Boxer is if she barks at my neighbors when they’re in their own yard. She sounds like an absolute beast but if I put anything in a different place she cowers like she’s beaten. I will never be able to move furniture around.
She has a meltdown every time the neighbors across the street back into their garage because she thinks the headlights are in our driveway.

Does anyone else… every time my dog walks out the front door she freaks out. Like she smells all the piss and shite of other dogs and it drives her nuts

My 11 year old English bulldog has only ever barked at deer that come in my front yard. Never once at a person or another dog.
I'd be pissed if I had a dog that barked at everyone and everything.

Checks out

Our Aussie had several barks. If she cut loose with her "big girl bark" I checked out what was going on. She was just doing her job of protecting her herd.
