Her best communication was that she would bark at me to let me know she wanted something, then I would go thru my list of things like water, outside, hungy, etc. She would bark when I mentioned the one she wanted, , but it sounded exactly like "yesss." Then one day I was working at my computer and she came up and barked. I was pretty involved in what I was doing and just turned to her and said, "What do you want?" She actually replied, "I want out." Was so surprised I had to stop what I was doing and go let her out.

Our lab is vocal for a lot of things but doesn't bark much. The bagel is very vocal including barking a lot even though he has a bark collar. The collar freaked out the guy bringing the new pressure tank. He was backing in and of course the bagel barked once then yelped and the guy thought he ran the dog over. He jumped out and saw he was fine and asked if he had a collar.
