My Puppy Is 6 Months Old And Still Doesnt Bark. If he doesn't need to go out and it's not time for puppy supper, at 4 months old he may be starting to explore where he fits into the pecking order. They’ve been ‘debarked’ what to do about it

Of course there are some exceptions (my neighbor's dogs come to mind) but for the most part they aren't as vocal as other breeds, especially herding dogs and hounds. After a few weeks of no sleep he agreed to try a crate. If so, reward big time.
