Do You Know What Your Dog is Saying?

dogs-barking

Here's a fun quiz I found on the Discovery Channel blog.

Anna M. Taylor of the University of Sussex recorded 7 dog barks for her Vocal Dog Project and you need to identify which bark belongs to which situation.

Can you tell the difference between a disturbed Rottweiler growl-barking and a 4-month-old Labrador puppy crying? Take the quiz to find out!

lol, sometimes I think I know what my dog is saying, and its not good.
No wonder she runs away after she says (barks) it.

My Lhasa Apso barks we she hears something or if she's wary of someone, all the normal stuff. But she doesn't bark to communicate with me. She uses suttle eye and head movement. If she is hungry she looks at her dish. If she wants a treat she either sits in front of me and looks toward the kitchen or if it's really urgent gets in my face and stares at me. She also is capable of compicated communication. She loves ice cream which I keep in a freezer on the fly bridge of our boat. She will get my attention by sitting very still infront of me until she gets my attention. Then she will look at her dish, look at my shoes, look at the door and then look up. She started doing this when she was about 6 months and she is now 3 yrs. I have never had a dog before that was this smart.

Wow, I got all of them right. I do tend to know what my dogs are trying to tell me but not by their barks. I'm young and am surprised how tuned in I am to animals.
