  Re: Bark bark bark Reply Contact By your sig you maybe have chihuahuas? is very often that owners dont walk small dogs, do you walk your dog? if dogs dont get enough exercise then they get pent up energy and barking (even when is a lousy way) makes the dog feel they are releasing at least some of that extra energy, and they will find the most minimal excuse to do it "There are not bad dogs, only bad owners"
