[nagdu] Not vocalizing in the Halti? WAS Re: a goat

Dallas has barked in his gentle leader. He just is extremely vocal around other dogs. He barked at a plastic dog at the mall once, making my mother and I laugh hysterically.

This dogequin just stood there and "stared" at Jenny for the two minutes my friend was reading me the signs that showed what was on sale... and Jenny couldn't take it any more.  She let out this one loud ""Woof!", and my friend burst out laughing when she realized why. Jenny looked so sheepish after that... never did bark at anything else like that, though she was quite interested in the taxedermed firehouse dog in the New York firefighter museum.

Or just chooses not to?  either I have a very vocal dog (possibly true) or I don't have a true Halti-brand Halti (also possibly true), but if she really really wants to, she can vocalize while wearing a Hait.
