Dogs and telephones- does your dog/dogs do this? |
|
I am sitting here on a quiet sunday morning and had to make a phone call. The dogs (all six of them) are on their doggie beds napping. They are out of it. I pick up the phone and am talking to a customer service person in India. Moe decides there is something outside that needs to be barked at. He starts and gets all the others going. It happens every time I make a phone call. They always just start barking for no apparent reason.

1. They Have a Chip in Their Head for Getting "Set Off" |
|
Mine don't do that but know when a call is over. When a long, chatty call comes to an end, with the attendant pacing outside, they immediately perk up ready to go inside.

2. Mine Does A Variation Of That... She'll Find A Squeaky Toy And |
|
she'll squeak-squeak-squeak it continuously whenever I'm on the phone or talking to my partner. I can only figure that it's the equivalent to a 5-year-old child's demands for attention. "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy... DADDY...look at me. Daddy look. Look Daddy! Hey Daddy, DADDY... LOOK!"

3. My dog doesn't like the phone |
|
Yes, he barks when it rings. Sometimes he settles down after I've been talking a while. Sometimes he doesn't. If I bring the phone close to him, especially if someone is talking, he starts growling.

4. My dogs hate the phone. |
|
If they recognize the voice, they'll bark or attack the phone. From their point of view, someone is probably in trouble.
