My 4 month old Lab just started barking at me. She does it after a while of interacting like she wants something? I continue to tell her “NO” and “quiet” but she’ll bark till I give her my attention? When I give her a toy or something to get her mind of barking she’ll stop for a while then usually starts in again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Soundds like she is high strung with some good attitude.. Its her way of telling you she needs something, maybe a little more attension… I had a little black girl, she turned out to be my favorite , she had such awesome personality I would bring her out to go swimming or such I would tell her it is time to go, she would just look at me and and bark ( trying to tell me thats unfair ) or when she needed something like a bone..
Personally I learned to like it , in the wrong situation it can be very anoying , but as being a dog and not a rock its kind-of nice to see…Personality
Training classes ar a big help for your dog to learn and respect your commands and obideance , were she will learn to settle on command .
Best of luck to ya! Joel
Thanks Joel, thats what I needed to hear! She goes to school for 3 months shortly. That will square her away!
You can tell when she will bark only at you in such a way that is different then when she barks to bark, If you get the time to spend with her during training that will also help.
Control over your dog is one thing but when she feels free enough to talk back when she feels she has the right to will bring a bigger intense bond between you and your dog.
I actually hated Labs untill she came along and set me straight, she did a great job of it, she got sick and I ended up getting another one…
Take care ..Joel
