"Woof"

[Shaz82]

Does anyone else's dog say "Woof"?

Maisy barks in a normal way usually, but every now and then she just 'says' "Woof".
It makes me laugh - just an observation really.

Yes, Alex does that. I was very surprised when he first did it.

like a very low volume bark?
Yup!

Almost like a chuff? Yes! Maxx has different sounds depending on the circumstance sometimes. E.g. if we're in the car and have forgotten to put the back windows down for him he makes a low whining sound that he never uses otherwise. Also the single bark if he wants to go outside is unique in pitch. They are so clever at finding ways of communicating aren't they?

My pretty pittie girl Mama Jodhi used to say, "Woo woo wooooooo!" when she was really happy. I've never heard another dog do that - it always made me laugh.

Haha Mabel does a woof that almost sounds like “mum”. Interestingly she only does it to me and it’s when she wants something she can’t get such as her treat ball has rolled under the sofa.

My Springer, Penny, used to go 'bow-wow' (to rhyme with 'go'). When my son was a toddler he used to call her Bow- not something we introduced, his own idea. Mind you she was a barker!

Doug used to do a really happy yip when saw me or I did something he liked. I miss it.

Yup!

Yes, it's always quite low, when she's lying down and can't be bothered to make the effort of getting up and barking properly

I must say that I haven't really noticed any different sounds for different scenarios. You are very observant - and I am not probably, I must listen properly and pay attention more!!

Sky doesn’t bark (she can but rarely uses it) but her eyes ? say it all - she has different looks for different messages. At the moment she is ‘telling’ me to get her kong - she’s half an hour too early!

Yes, there is a bit of that as well. Kind of like a low grumble that just keeps going on and on, they are so funny!

Poppy, being a husky/collie cross, has the husky Oooo,wooo,ooooh. She only uses it in greeting.
