| Re: How much barking is acceptable?
Cyrus went through a phase 2 weeks ago when he barked at EVERYTHING he saw or heard outside. So much so I was awakened several times a night. That was unacceptable. After a few nights of constant "quiet!" that stopped.
He now will only bark if he sees, hears or smells something "different"
One thing he does that annoys me: When I bring him to work he will hang out by my office door and occasionally if he sees someone he knows or someone he thinks would be a fun person to know he will bark. Nubby going a mile a minute and he is as sweet as can be when the door opens. But heck! Out of a dorm of 335 kids, he may very well frighten someone doing that. He will stop on command though.
