We had the sweetest, most polite and handsome little chihuahua, named Stan, whom we got,from the pound. He was the best little dog and so quiet you could lose track of him. He would ask permission to come indoors, waiting patiently until invited in. He would ‘bark’ at deliverymen, going onto the porch to say, “woof, woof” at a conversational level, just announcing the mail. We miss him terribly.

If you want a quiet dog, make sure to give it plenty of exercise, plenty of interaction and never leave it alone for overly extended periods. It's that simple.

[@joeltunnah]

No, it's unfortunately not that simple. I had a cocker spaniel that got HOURS of exercise a day, and would immediately start howling and barking the minute I left. He also went nuts anytime he heard a doorbell, car horn, people on the street... Some breeds and particular dogs are more high-strung and prone to anxiety and barking.

[@bordercollie1140]

@@joeltunnah Different breeds need different types of exercise. If you're walking your dog on a leash then that's useless. A cocker is a working breed who needs to be able to run free in fields or trails. I have 2 Border Collies and they're as good as gold in the house, because they get 3 1 hour walks a day. I make sure that they're stimulated both physically and mentally.

As a former basenji owner I call shenanigan's on this one. While they may not give a full throat bark they are NOT that quiet and they are lively as heck. They were bred as a hunting dog and have tons of energy. My basenji could run rings around my Doberman.

[@coveyssteve]

Exactly right. There is all kinds of foolishness on the Internet by people that don't know beans about dogs. This is a good example.

[@sarahbauer5593]

My Bassenjis were not barkers but boy when they chortled, the neighbors thought someone was being murdered. I had one for 5 years (died of diabetes) and one for 12 years (died of old age). I can't say they were great dogs as they were escape artists, extremely energetic even in hot weather, and were very standoffish, even more than my cat. I will take my Staffy mix any day over either of them. She is not a barker, growler but a lover. She will lick you forever and lay on your feet, giving you sweet puppy dog eyes.

[@katiesue4441]

I had a basenji mix rescue for 13 years. She was a wonderful pet, very rowdy at times but always my Annie Girl. Very protective. I lost her April 15th, 2023 and I still miss her every day. So blessed to have been her human.

[@mtngrammy6953]

Basenjis may be known as a "barkless dog", however, they can be one of the noisiest dogs around! They can howl, yip, yap, and scream, etc. One of the noisiest dog shows I was ever involved in was one where there was a Basenji specialty. All the basenjis were crated together in one area of the coliseum and it was such a noisy area that we all had to try our best to avoid the area.

[@mtngrl5859]

They have a distinctive chortle.

[@kathleenstoin671]

We've had two Basenjis that were very quiet. Our last boy howled only very occasionally when he seemed to be having a nightmare. After reassuring him, he'd quiet down. I miss them so much.

[@jungledog4868]

My 16 year old tri, female Basenji passed away one year ago on Holy Saturday 2023. She was basically silent. Yodeled 3 times in her life, one of those times was a week before she passed. My favorite being. Extremely smart. She was well behaved, and for my family was easy to train, and wasn't destructive at all. Miss her more each day. If content should be quiet. Love you Sensen!

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

I had a delightful Papillon from the pound. He barked too much because the neighbor dogs barked. I built him a platform with steps so he could see outside, and he immediately quit barking and tearing at the curtains to see out when the neighbors barked. When he could see no danger, he didn't bark. My suggestion is to help them have a sentry position, they take guard duties serious. As he got old, I made him steps up to the bed and sofa too. Now I'm old, I'm considering adjusting my front and back steps for ME.

[@mervstone17]

I have a chihuahua mix (chipotle - chihuahua/poodle/terrier).

I have a whippet mix rescue. Took her 6 months to make a sound. Now she's a good guard dog with a very loud bark, worthy of a much larger dog. Every little noise outside, barks when I want to have a nap. Tried training her with a bark collar, but as soon as it comes off, it's back to normal.

I have a Papillion and I work from home so she is with me 24/7. She is very protective around me and barks at any one or any thing that comes near me. Some days more than others. Poppie was a rescue dog so I don't know her entire history. She is a big difference from my Chocolate Lab but we have formed a close bond.

[@lgood4970]

Papillion's are such great dogs. I had a rescue one for many years. Paps do bark. Unlike many small dogs, they are very, very trainable. If you teach your Pap to 'speak', you can then teach them quiet. They learn very quickly. They are fairly quiet ---unless they feel under threat. She's protecting you or herself from threat. Mine was deaf and she hated flashlights at night. The barking over flashlights. Sigh. But I was able to train her to 'quiet' hand signals. And compared to a Pom or other small dogs, she was fairly quiet. But I wouldn't say no barking. But they have so many other pluses, I don't mind.

[@sueregan2782]

My Papillon barked continuously whenever I lefter him home, even for a short time. Otherwise a great pet. He also was a rescue. He was such a Velcro pet that I repeatedly tripped over him.

My beautiful late dog (Chocolate Brown Labradoodle) who I unfortunately suddenly lost to leukemia in 2020 was none of these breeds. He was not a barker unless someone actually rang the intercom or you were playing games with him. 2 of my neighbors actually complimented him, telling me that when he is alone in the apartment, they would not even know a dog was living there because he was so quiet and content. I believe there were 2 reasons for this. Has a young dog he was left alone at times and also had his first week in a kennel when he was 11 months old, when I went on vacation, and also, he was very loved and secure in his own home. All this helped. My sister has a Bichon Frise, and it barks and whines if you leave the room, to the extent that it can never be left because it stresses itself out so much. This I believe is because she never raised it has I did my own late dog. Also, I have always found it 'odd' how 'particular' cultures only seem to be attracted/own what I call 'purse/ handbag breeds.

My daughter has a basenji and he's quite barky.

[@Squee_Dow]

I have a toy poodle that I got from the Humane Society. He's 16, and I've had him 4 years. I have heard him bark about 5 times over those 4 years, and ever so briefly when he did. I've had poodles since mid 70s (5 in all) and have never had a yapping dog. The other ones I raised since they were puppies, so I was able to imprint on them early. I would never allow any of my dogs to bark incessantly, although I do want them to bark if someone is at the door or making noise outside my house. It was so easy to teach them not to bark. But this last dog was 12 when I got him, so I didn't have the chance to teach him about barking. Turns out I didn't need to. So much for the unending stereotyping of small dogs. It really does get tiresome, but I guess people are going to believe what they want to believe.

We had basenji's for years. These are smart, marvelous, extremely loyal, loving dogs that due to their high entergy levels are wonderful for those living in the country and often terrible for those living in confinded spaces. They need to live with you and are TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE,TERRIBLE back-yard only or kennel dogs! They want to be on or under something, ours used to stay on top of their "peak-roofed" doghouse. These athletic, little beast jump like gazelles, ie. our female used to lay down under the bushes like she was asleep and then spring-up 6-8 feet and come down with a passing bird! They are cat-like/semi-domesticated, i.e. come when "they want to" and are almost impossible to obedience train, but will willingly follow and unless they "rolled in something," they are fastiously clean. They are fast as greased lightening, i.e. faster than any other dog you own in short distances! Basenji's are great sight hounds and excell at rabbit hunting - but need to wear bells so that you know where these barkless hounds are! Our female used to "step on the head of our shorthair" to wake him up to bark at intruders, i.e. the garbage men, while she stood next to the shorthair and "smiled"! I live in the city with a nice yard and won't own a single basenji, but if I lived out in the country, I'd have six!!!

I apologized. I gave him the petting he was looking for. Maybe I shouldn’t have, but all he was trying to do is get my attention. I wish she had barked, but he was totally silent.

This person obviously has never owned a frenchie, they can be very vocal even if they don't "bark" much persay. Basenji's as well are vocal even if they don't "bark" as they are literally known as the barkless dog. They do however yodel and whine which can be just as annoying while extremely cute. Having spent a lot of time around both, Basenjis do tend to be quieter than other breeds, but with Frenchies it's a crap shoot. If you get a conversationalist they will hardly be quiet as frenchies can be quite opinionated and will share those opinions....ROFL

And remember, dogs and other animals have a far more sensitive sense of hearing. Our noises distress digs too. Humans also have developed electronic devices that we do not hear but the sensitive ears of our dogs do. Best to not get a dog if you want it to be mute. How about a goldfish?

Pugs may not bark….. but they sure do snore and fart.

Narrated as though the video maker believes the viewer is a simpleton. There are too many of these woefully poor videos on YT. There needs to be a basic level of competence before YT allows content to be uploaded. This video uses stock footage of dogs, poorly researched and I mean poorly researched and delivered at such a pace so that the content takes 10minutes to deliver in what would in reality struggle to make 2 minutes of barely acceptable content

They call the Basenji the barkless dog. They make lots of other sounds that are in my opinion way more annoying
