barking....................at nothing!

now in all of woodys's 18 months he has whimpered whined and had an attempt at a bark that appeared as a squeak! now he has just gone in the garden and done a none stop barking frenzy for an hour, ive been out - nothing in sight. he is barking and fixated on the same spot and wont be coaxed from his position, even the fail safe pigs ear temptation didnt work. i hope its a one off and something has spooked him rather than the start of a noisy dog!

blake never used to bark,then when he barked for the first time there was no stopping him..hes always barking now lol if ive got his toy and i wont give it to him he barks aswell

not the news i was looking for!!!!but surely they only need to bark for a reason like you having his toy???? he's stood looking at something i cant see!

Moo barks sometimes, and when she does you know about it, 4am is a great time to be barking at the window! She'll go through phases of it, but usually she is a grunter or a squeaker!

Maybe you have ghosts in the garden

dont spook me as that thought did cross my mind! he was definitely fixated on something i couldnt see!

It could have been anything.....................although they are supposed to have a sixth sense.....................................(joke )

It was probably a looter or something Xx

I may be in the minority here but I don't think that dogs will bark at nothing. They can hear and sense things that we can't. Not neccessarily suggesting anything supernatural but you never know. There are times Suki will start to growl and bark and I won't know why and withing 20 minutes or so there will be an earthquake or someone at the door or someother reason that will show up.

Jstaff, Moo will literally bark at nothing! She doesn't do it very often, but there is honestly nothing there, fair play to Suki for the warning, and I do believe they can sense things we can't. Moo just likes to be a pain, she'll snuggle right up to me once she has woken me up!

no i think you may be right jstaff. there is defo summat up with him tonight, he's gone out agin barking at exactly the same spot. jusy spotted something in the bushes in the house at the back -think its some kind of plastic animal - he obviously thinks its real!

When Suki was a few months younger she would bark at the childrens ceramic see saws in the park. Espically the Panda Bear one that was about her size. I'm sure that me running ahead, hiding behind it and growling and barking encouraged her but still

Vinnie does this .. he will go mental if the neighbours are hanging there washing out lol, if theres a bird in the tree, if theres a bird on the roof and the main one .. if theres a cat!.
But he will also bark at things such as, leaf falling from the tree, twigs falling of the tree and strange squeaks from the fence on a windy day.

Could be something he saw or heard before you went out and its startled him so his voicing his opinion! haha,

We think Violet can see ghosts! Sometimes she just follows something around with her eyes, but theres nothing there - add that to the fact that we live in an old house, I'm a Hallowe'en baby, she's a Friday the 13th baby...

lemmy is 8 months and he can bark.........it used to be a yap but now he barks........usualy at the big vase on the floor and goes mental if the flowers in it move. theyre like our kids cant wait for them to walk and talk then spend years telling them to shut up and sit down

Milly barks if you wont open the door to let her see who is upstairs, she barks if you are in the bath honest she barks for nothing

A dogs sences are so much better than ours so hes heard something especially if hes going to the same spot.

last night billy who never barks, got up and went into the hallway and barked a couple of times, we looked out the window but could not see anything, it was a bit scary cause we thought there might have been someone in the house but there wasn't

milly barks when she can hear someone coming up the stairs.she will sit There on my bed with her eyes fixed waiting to see whos going to appear then she will jump down and fuss.we have noticed she barks more often when its my oh coming up the stairs
