going off that last post because my tags were getting too long but my sister (shit with animals and don’t know fuck all about them) has always INSISTED that oskar (a TERRIER/SPITZ MIX) wouldn’t bark if we just trained him better like 😐
and yeah, sure, maybe he wouldn’t, but.. he IS well-trained. my mom and stepdad live in the middle of nowhere, for them his purpose of “alerting everyone when Things Happen” is hugely useful. he never barks for no reason! sometimes the reason is “i heard a deer in the yard at 1 am” which can be annoying but ultimately he’s doing his job. he’s being good.
