Quick question: Is it normal for a Pyrenees to bark all day long?

Since he turned two, he has been barking a lot more. Several things have happened in the meantime, like me getting pregnant. Could my pregnancy have something to do with his increased barking?

What to do to control his barking ?

I would be worried if they don’t bark all day long

That’s their signature trait. As a livestock guardian dog, they are bred to scan the perimeter consistently and bark at real and imaginary dangers. Only thing you can do is acknowledge them when they do and maybe they will reduce the frequency

Definite barkers. We love the breed and most of our fosters will either sleep next to the door or spend all night looking out the bedroom window for intruders.

We have a Pyrenees and yep they bark at things we can’t see or hear but thats what they are bred for. Not much you can do, they think the world is their guarding territory so they will protect. It gets better as they get older, ours is 8 and just sleeps all day

I’m sure you pregnancy has something to do with it. The dog knows you are pregnant.

Honestly, I haven't noticed much change in his nature. He still pounced on me like a ninja even when I was 8 months pregnant! 😂 I was kinda expecting him to act all wise and mature, but nope... same old goofball! Lol.

I have a Pyrenees mix and she is very, very proud of protecting our family from mosquitos. Seriously. Barking at the ceiling at 2:00 a.m. because one got in the house. Mommy (me) has to take care of the intruder and praise her -- then she will be quiet. She also alerts me when a roof is being repaired anywhere in a four-street radius, because she can hear the nail guns.

I’m not a fan of these but there are collars that could give him a tiny vibration when he barks. Some have an electric pulse / zap - I wouldn’t do that.

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?

Hi,
Need some advice. My pet had been eating his kebble food on a consistent basis. Then I introduced a bit of raw chicken into his kebble and loved having it even more. But now I'm realizing that if I don't add chicken, he just doesn't eat his regular kebble food. What should I do? (Don't want to feed chicken every day)
