That's just not true. My pair are adults and know when to bark, they are not puppies (been there done that, and I GAVE away my pup, toooo much barking for me!)
And if they do run the fence and bark, its for a REASON. and when the REASON leaves, they certainly do not continue to bark at nothing. I will leave that nusiance barking to the pet dogs in the neighborhood......
