In the dark, your pup may have a hard time focusing and your shape isn't familiar yet.
My point is, maybe there isn't a reason. He may just not have recognized you right away. |
I have had them since mid December. They seem to be learning how to guard now though. These are the first episodes where I see them actually barking at their surroundings. I surely am proud of how they guard our property which is in the middle of nowhere but he seems to need to work a little more on the "scent" rather than the figure!
