Leo is usually a peaceful puppy (emphasis on the usually), aside from his random infant dinosaur noises when he’s yawning or stretching. We’ve been extremely lucky that he doesn’t bark at other people, dogs, or other random things dogs bark at. When we very first introduced crate training to him he would whine as well as bark in the crate. slowly (and thankfully), he stopped entirely as he grew more comfortable in the crate. Now, he is peaceful when we leave the house, as well as even gets in the crate when we say, “go to bed”.
Unfortunately, Leo has this habit of speaking back. soon after the preliminary cuteness used off as well as we introduced Leo to the word “no”, he started barking back. I presume it’s either in demonstration of being told no, or he believes were barking at him.
Now that he’s reaching his bratty, teen months, the “no’s” are streaming much more freely since his curiosity is getting him into everything, like my torn up carpet, chewed crown molding, as well as more (we’ve already accepted that we’re not getting our deposit back). Every “no” we throw at Leo, we get between 1-3 barks back. He has even done it to other people!
Sometimes we prevent the bark-fest by distracting him with a toy or making him sit, however since he’s a wise puppy, it doesn’t always work.
