[nagdu] Barking

[Doug Parisian]

I actually taught one of my dogs to bark on specific occasions, like when it 
is minus 40 and she was outside for a relief session and wanted back in 
again.  I'm thinking that, if I go for dog number six, I might even teach 
Miss/Mr. dog to single bark when someone touches my working animal without 
my consent or knowledge.  I never had inappropriate barking from any of my 
five dogs, well, except my first shepherd.  He was truly weird in his 
barking, he was never a volley barker otherwise I would have taken control 
of the situation.  However, if I visited a friend and stood outside ringing 
the doorbell, Brut would give a couple of very large dog barks.  I've never 
heard of a dog barking when they can actually see master ringing a doorbell. 
Knocking on a friend's door got the same results; damn weird dog!

Doug: they paved paradise, and put up a barking lot (come now, you all knew 
that was coming!)
