Hello,
I have a 10-week old black lab that has been with us for 2 weeks now.
She is a great puppy and is coming along well with her house training, etc.
Tonight while playing with her, I pretended to bark like an adult dog. She immediately perked up and started to look around. Then she went upstairs to her bed and looked around some more. I lay on the floor outside the door of the room and watched her. Then I made more barking noises to see what she would do. She looked around again to find the sound and then came to me and started licking. Then she cuddled up and lay down beside me. She doesn't usually do this.
Is making barking noises bad? Is it reminding her of her mother? A couple of times while looking around for the barking sound, she gave a little whimper.
She also panted like she was tired or stressed.
The reason I ask is that for the next hour after that, she was really well behaved and didn't nibble me or anything like usual.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
