At what age would a puppy start barking?

[Danegirl2208]

theres not a "set age"..it totally depends on the puppy..how old is he/she?

[yooper_at_heart]

He is 3 mo. old.

Yeah it doesnt matter at the age, they can start whenever. Taya was 8 weeks when she started to Bark. of course that was when i brought her home. so i'm sure she was barking at her breeders house also.

What breed is your dog?

I had a dog that never barked unless encouraged for 30 minutes to do so! However, the dog had been abused and was really timid.

[Amanda21]

well some breeds of dogs are not known to bark. even though they can. Taya my Papillon RARELY barks. only when she's left alone she'll bark. otherwise she's quiet. my other dog Britt a Springer barks ALL the time at people she doesnt know, or a noise she hears and doesnt knwo what cased it. she'll bark like crazy.

so it could also be based on the breed.

Well mine's a chi/fox terrior and I haven't heard a peep out of him except when he occasionally cries. I thought he might have been too young but....

I will have to agree with the others. I think it depends more on the personality of the dog. Lady rarely barks and she is 1 1/2 years old. Copper has barked from day one and so as Addie.
