| Riley didn't bark but he would play growl only a teeny weeny bit!! He will be 2-years old, in May and he barely barks!! Even if there are a ton of dogs around him barking.... He just kind of looks at them like they are crazy. He is really low key. I really lucked out!! |

| Just depends on the puppy. Lilo never barked when she was younger... Leo barked only when he wanted to play with his sister which and now never barks.... My friends new puppy who is 15!weeks is a super barker and barks at everything. Lol I prefer the quiet but you never know... I know a puppy that never barked but once it hit 6 months old it became a barking maniac and learned to howl last week  |

| Shhhh...don't let on that you've noticed.  I agree with your husband. Your baby has his own line that he will bark for...be thankful that line has not been breached. Brody didn't bark hardly at all...at first...either. Then we got Mia and she taught him to bark...at every sound and every thing. So now, when a kitty jumps down and makes that soft little thud on the floor...!  When one of them sees one of us coming around a back corner of the house...! When the monsters (garbage cans) are put out by the street...? When the (monsters) garbage cans are NOT out by the street anymore...? When either sees a bicyclist riding down the street...!  And, Mia continues to "huff" and/or "chuff" lonnggg after the barking is over and the "threat" (see above) is over and done with and long gone.Okay...you get the picture, so repeat after me: "All hail the quiet Yorkie!"  Tiptoeing away so as not to start them barking...

| In my experience, many dogs may bark some or even quite a bit out of nerves at the new sounds of a new home and then go quiet for a time, not really becoming a normal barker until they begin to "own" or feel as if their home and immediate property is theirs. Once a new dog accepts his surroundings as his own territory, he will usually begin to defend it by barking. Other, more nervous dogs will bark at almost anything from the beginning and from then on.

| Callie didn't bark for an extremely dog time we had even asked the vet if she was ok. She still very rarely ever barks and we know if she does its something big and always run to find her.

Brandi is the same way. She doesn't bark much at all but when she does, I pay attention. She will bark for only 3 things.....for an intruder alert (someones at the door), when I accidently lock her in a closet or when she locks herself in the powder room and when she wants me to wake up in the middle of the night to lift her onto the bed (does this every night btw). Lucky me....I think! | |

| Donating YT 500 Club Member  | Roxy was several months old before she barked. She's not an obsessive barker which I really appreciate. Yours will find his voice when he's ready. Don't worry about it... enjoy it.

| On the one hand, I agree with your husband. On the other hand, an argument could be made that teaching them to speak on command as pups may be helpful in teaching them to be quiet on command. Max let out one little bark in his first 6 months. When he was neutered, he barked his way out of the vet's office. Then he was quiet again until he was a year old. He is an alarm barker now. Teddy was quiet until he was almost 2. He can be very talkative in the car.
