Because it is excited to see who is there :D
I had a lot of dogs, ranging from a very tiny chihuahua to very large dogs, and my experience is: ALL dogs bark when they see something (a kid passing by, a pigeon landing on the roof) in order to warn their owners.
I think that cats are more than dogs because if someone knocks on the door some dogs bark at it, but cats don't really care they will stay where they are.
My pom only barks when someone is at the door. I have had other breeds and she does not bark any more than the other dogs. The older she gets, the less she barks. She is 4 now.
Dogs may bark at mailmen, because the think strangers are approaching their Territory, they are trying to protect you, its a old dog thing, don't worry.Its quite natural for them to bark at the front door, if someone rings the bell or knocks on the door, so that's it really.Hope i helped.
Yes, there are a number of contraptions that sound like dogs barking.
I have a Shetland of my own. They are a very nice dog... But then it comes to the barking. As you probably know they have a piercing bark that after a while hurts! They most likely will only bark 1)When you play with them 2) When they want to get your attention 3)When a dog is barking or 4) When you have a person knocking on your door. Also as you probably know Shetlands are what you call "Watch dogs" Meaning they watch out for anything and feel like they need to protect there owners they have bonded with. When someone knocks on the door they will bark to get your attention so you are aware, think of them like your second door bell. But when you open the door, they will be fine with the person unless they don't like them of course. Tons of people will tell you the same thing " Shetlands will guide your visitors to you!" And I find that true!. To answer your more basic, they could be a big pest with there barks but end up in the end being VERY useful.
no way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.No, because of their size they really can't guard against much. But they are excellent watch dogs...will bark when anything comes near. Mine lets me know when a stranger is on my property, or when someone has come to the door.
it is like a door bell
