Re: Dogs Barking?

Just a random thought this morning. I read a lot on here about dogs behavior. Seems like many would agree that dogs are prone more to bark in the pens and basically don't like being confined today than the did years ago.
Could some our dogs problems actually be caused by a change in the way we take care of them. Does todays generation actually care for and interact with their dogs as much as was happening 20 years ago. Have dogs become something that just sits in a pen waiting for someone to come let them out that isn't happening as much as it use to. Are their water bowls being knocked over and not refilled as they should be? Are they getting enough food and attention? Just read this board and the history of barking unhappy dogs in a pen. It has to be Genetics or Environment or a little of both. How many actually have a dog out in their pen if they hear it bark they know something is wrong and they go check on them? Yes there are dogs like that.
Not sure what it is but here there are 11 dogs none wear bark collars. We are all currently outside with the family and all is quiet. But the older dogs are all very well disciplined and hunted several nights a week. They will only bark if coyotes come very near the yard and while it is feeding time if they aren't first.
Pups that don't run loose are in a large pen housed together this is the secret to quiet puppies. Small confines and/or not enough exercise is the problem with many.
Bruce you ever notice how quiet Oaks is until later in the week when the show dogs and trading dogs show up. The hunted dogs spend their days laying in the shade sleeping the others have to bark at every person that passes by. This past year we spread our campsite out between all of us because each of the past couple of years the couple of show dog people with a bunch of dogs had moved in in the night with dogs that never shut up for the 2-3 days they were there. I know not all of them are like that and not bashing those there to show but the discontentment between them and those with dogs in the hunt near us was obvious.
