john landry Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I’ve been reading about canine behaviour and their communication process – in plain language, how and why they bark (and all the nuances of said skill). Reading is one thing, recognizing the real thing is quite another. So, I asked myself, “John, someone, somewhere must have recorded these sounds. So John, why not ask BC Boards members.” So, here’s my (dumb?) question: does anyone know of a CD or DVD on the interpretation of the various ways a dog barks?

Chaser Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi John, good question I'd say. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on something like that if it does exist. Mango, my BC is VERY vocal and after one year I've only managed to decipher some of her barks. The rest is driving me a bit scatty right now - but I'm working on it!

Lewie'sMom Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 John, Definately NOT a dumb question. I'm sure dog owners around the globe would love to know what their dogs are saying...I would...or sometimes maybe not. Anyway, I remember reading something in the news recently about somebody (scientists?) somewhere claiming to have deciphered barks. I'm skeptical but this is what I found when I search for it: http://www.itchmo.com/computer-software-de...og-barking-4551 (sorry, I don't know how to make a link) Keep us posted if you find anything that looks promising.

Alaska Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Just for you, Turid Rugaas (of "Calming Signals" fame) has a brand new book on this very subject: BARKING: THE SOUND OF A LANGUAGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
