[nagdu] barking?

[Daryl Marie]

Hey, Danielle,
Been there... done that... While part of it has definitely been related to Jenny's ears, I do know that she can and will bark at someone if they are making prolonged eye contact with her, especially on approach. Is it possible that someone at the next table was staring at him? Eye contact to dogs is a challenge, so if someone was making eye contact with your guide, it could make him pretty edgy.

Just a thought.

Daryl

Subject: [nagdu] barking?

I was in a restaurant today, and my dog started barking at something. This is really odd behavior for him because he rarely barks and has never barked indoors in harness before. The only thing out of the ordinary I noticed were noises of construction outside. This shouldn't have bothered him though since he doesn't usually get concerned about unfamiliar noises. The only thing I could think of is if it had something to do with another person's behavior since he was looking in the direction of the table next to us. This was not a happy bark; it was the bark he uses to tell other dogs to back off. I got him to look away and move to the other side of my chair rather easily, but it was just such an odd reaction. Have any of you been in a situation where your dog reacted defensively to a person?
