(906 posts)for greeting a member of my family entering the home; for a person - not a family member - but who is known to my dogs; and for a complete stranger, unknown to the dogs. They're loud, and they will continue barking until commanded to hush by one of their family.
At 60 and 110 pounds respectively, my dogs are of a size that they can (and will) do some damage unless they're called off by myself, my wife, or my kids. Their job is to protect our home and their family....with the warning and notice they provide to my family, we can respond accordingly.
If my kids are getting in late after the wife and I have gone to bed, their not sneeking in unknown...the dogs bark, I wake, and I hear my kids tell the dogs to be quiet. As a system, it seems to work quite well.
