Today, after finally getting my newborn baby to sleep, I made a sign to put on the door asking people not to knock or ring the bell, since our 3 dogs will bark loudly and wake the baby. When I went to print the sign, my dogs barked like crazy at the sound of the printer. FML

Time to invest in bark collars for your dogs. I'm just kidding of course, those things are inhumane. :(

You can get ones that squirt the dog under the muzzle with water. So it surprises them instead of hurting them. :)

If you can't train your dogs not to bark except in situations you want them to bark than you shouldn't have dogs. Also you don't want silence when babe is trying to sleep, the world isn't silent, they need to be able to go to sleep when they need sleep not when you make everything quiet.

Dogs bark when they get protective. You can't completely train it out of all of them.

No, but you can train them which situations to get protective in. My last dog only barked if someone that didn't live in the house entered the house without being walked in by someone who lived in the house. That was the only time he ever barked, and it didn't take long to train him to do that. Depends on when you want the dog to bark, say you have a footpath running along the front of your house, you don't want the dog to bark at people walking past, but you do want them to bark when someone crosses the fence.

This. Having grown up with a dog trainer for a parent, you can train them so they almost never bark except when they are trained to (ie, a trespasser). A well trained dog shouldn't bark at every little sound.

They shouldn't bark at every little sound, but when they feel scared/threatened of course they're going to bark. It's just instinct. Then there are dogs that are natural talkers. I have a heeler mix that is like that. No amount of training (and I've dragged his butt through training) will stop that.

When my daughter was little, she would sleep when I was vacuuming the house, my dogs barking and other loud noises. But drop a pencil on the tile floor or something of similar noise level and she'd wake up crying.

Ever heard of a PEN and PAPER? Makes less noise and doesn't make the dogs bark! No need for thanks, I know I'm a ******* genius and you're an idiot =w=

narcissism isn't a bad thing unless it gets to the point of total bragging and self-centeredness

43trauts, "No need for thanks, I know I'm a ******* genius and you're an idiot =w=". I think this defines "Total bragging and self-centeredness". apepe78, who? #85?

Invest in a noise fan for baby's room. I promise you, it'll make your life so much easier. I sleep with a noise fan myself so that noises won't wake me up.
