[QUOTE="soberups, post: 622427, member: 14668"] If barking dogs are a problem for you, then you picked the wrong line of work. My dogs bark when someone knocks on my door, or if they hear a strange noise from the backyard. That is normal, healthy, instinctive dog behavior. Dogs became "domesticated" over tens of thousands of years by developing a symbiotic relationship with early man. Early man hunted and then cooked and ate his kill around a fire. Dogs learned to follow man around and eat the bones and scraps that he discarded. Man learned that dogs would bark and alert them to nearby predators at night, so they began feeding the dogs in order to use them as an "alarm" system. Barking as a warning behavior is now hard-wired into the DNA of the modern domestic dog. 10,000 years later, I have a fat Basset hound sitting on my lap and snoring as I type these words into a computer screen from the comfort of my couch.
