Cody is the barker of the house. He barks even if he thinks he hears something even though I know there is nothing there. Isa only barks when she hears or sees someone outside or if Cody started to bark at the neighbors' dogs.

WOOW-never thought about it but my prior female adopted GSD really NEVER barked,she never thought she was Alpha.My current male barks waay more and he can be a alpha wannabe but stops barking when I tell him to.He really doesn't bark that much but I actually I do pay attention when he does bark-he is very alert to "something different"may be just a car stopping in front of house-someone hunting/shooting ducks or crazy teens fighting at bus stop out front.Glad he does it for whatever reason.Kinda hate when he sometimes barks at the full moon that he hasn't seen through a particular bedroom window since last year and also rowfs at tailgaitors when in car.

I have 3 females and one male.
If they are in the kennel. Loki (male) barks more at night for the pure sake of barking. Got so bad we bought a bark collar. Palla will bark a few times but gives up unless something is there to bark at. When I just take them out for a pee, Lacy will always sound off and get the others wound up and Loki won't make a peep. Larka aka Larker-Barker. Not that I mind if there was something to bark at but it's not even a real bark, it is a half-arse bark that changes pitch and tone. As if she is talking to who ever out there will listen to her. So all in all, Loki barks the most for no reason in the kennel. Females bark more when loose for the sake of barking (thanks Larka)

My female Sasha very rarely barks too! She is vocal though, lots of whiney, grumbly, growly, talking sounds. Plus howling with sirens. Just an occasional yap while playing! Our boy Dash does most of the barking here. Got him a no bark collar a couple months ago. He does none of the whiny talky stuff Sasha does. Our other boy, Blitzen, just barks occasionally. Mostly just at people with dogs passing by, and squirrels.

Jesse (male) was never a barker (unless something invading backyard or coming to door) but now that he will be 2 next week he is getting much more vocal and yips at us when he wants something and doesn't stop, I am starting to curb it and make him come and lie down and don't give him what he wants (until he is quiet and does what I want first).
