Half-Ginger Goldendoodle Who Looks Like a Muppet Learns to Adorably 'Whisper Bark'
One of the million reasons why we don't deserve dogs is because dogs will do anything to make humans happy. Even when your fur baby is misbehaving, he's probably thinking about how you would find him chewing up your wallet absolutely adorable or that you actually want him to steal a piece of pizza off the counter.
One precious Goldendoodle, who looks just like a Muppet character, wants to please her dad so badly, she tries very hard to bark in a quiet manner. Just look at this sweet girl!
The first thing I noticed in the precious video uploaded to the account for @Milachon45 is this sweet Goldendoodle looks just like Barkley on Sesame Street! Or close to Barkley!

Here's a cute reminder of Barkley!
People love how this ginger Goldendoodle is trying so hard to be quiet. It's hard to tell if she's in a home library or an actual library, but either way, good library etiquette!
Teaching a dog the command for quiet or even to whisper bark is such an important skill for dogs to learn, and one person said, "I taught my dog how to 'speak quiet." It took a while, but I did it."My own Pomeranian is too old not to know how to be quiet, and Pomeranians are pretty barky by nature, so I've been working on re-training him. I've been making him go to his bed, and when I give the command for quiet, if he actually stops barking, I give him a treat.
In my opinion, positive reinforcement works best when training pups, and my own fur baby is super treat-driven so he'd pretty much do anything for a treat.
Wag Walking has directions on how to teach your own pup to whisper bark, and they say, "Now that you have your pup barking when you say "whisper," it's time to start turning down the volume. This time, only give him a treat when his barks are lower in volume. He will soon figure out that he only gets treats when he barks at a lower volume."
Maybe when my own pup learns quiet I will work on teaching him to whisper bark next, just in case I bring him with me to the library!

Dog Realizes Owner Is Filming Playtime, Hysterics Over Response: 'Said No'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog's hilarious reaction to being secretly recorded by his owner has left internet viewers in stitches. The dog owner, who goes by @munecaaa.g on TikTok, shared what happened when her pup Teddy caught her trying to film him sniffing his soft toy and relaxing. The moment he noticed the camera, he froze completely still. The video has since garnered over 274,100 likes and more than 1.3 million views on the platform. "I tried to be sneaky and record him cause he hates being on camera, he saw me almost immediately," the owner wrote in the text overlaying the clip. In the footage, Teddy enjoys a moment with his pink lamb plush, sniffing and cuddling the toy—until he locks eyes with the camera and halts all movement, glaring directly at his owner. This kind of reaction might be more common than people think. The WagWalking experts say that some dogs dislike having their picture taken due to the unfamiliar and potentially threatening nature of a camera lens, which can resemble a staring eye—a behavior that is often perceived as a challenge or threat in canine language.

Keep them relaxed with treats or toys, and use burst mode for action shots to capture the perfect moment. TikTok users flooded the comments with amused reactions and similar stories. "Like WHY DO THEY GET SO MAD?????" posted Annie. "It's giving 'Did you just take my picture'," commented another user. "I wonder why some animals really don't like getting their picture taken/recorded," wrote Shayna. "My dog knows EVERY TIME and hates it. I dont understand," added Amanda Castro. "My dogs too it's like they're hiding something or from someone and they don't want their pictures or videos on the internet," shared one viewer. "That face when he saw you recording," commented another. "These dogs are little humans," someone else added. "That death stare … He sayin now I know this woman know betta than to put me on camera," shared another user. "The side eye hahahah," wrote Jess. "Is giving when your mom would think she's sneakily recording you," posted another viewer. Newsweek reached out to @munecaaa.g for comment via TikTok. We could not verify the details of the case.
