hi! so today, my 4 month old maltipoo started barking out of nowhere. he only barks when he meets new people, and he just kept barking at our dining table for so long. first my dad saw him do that and he was like “hey what’s wrong”, “there’s nothing there, come here” and etc. and this was not the dining table where we normally sit and eat, it’s in our other living room which is more for guests and stuff so my entire family was in our other one, not the one my dog was barking in. so since he was in the other side of the house, my dad followed him and that’s when he noticed he was just standing still in one spot continuously barking. then i heard him from upstairs in my room and came down and was like what’s going on, and my dad said he’s been barking at literally nothing.
not only was he barking but at some point he was walking backwards and barking like something was right in front of him, he was growling a lot as well. this was very out of character of him. we could tell by his stance he was in full defence mode!! we even called out his name and went in front of him to show him there’s nothing there but he would not stop. he would bark and step forward like something was coming towards him. He even turned his body a whole 90 degrees and started barking at another spot , like he was following whatever was in the room.
after a solid 5 minutes of barking he stopped and we picked him up and took him to our other living room and my mom pet him and snuggled with him to make him feel calm. he seemed fine for a bit, but when she let him go he ran back to the other living room AGAIN, but this time he was standing at the end of the hallway but not in the same exact spot he was barking at before, almost like he was scared to go any further.
After 20 mins it was time for all of us to sleep so my parents took him in their room where he has his little bed where he sleeps and a couple minutes later he vomited. he’s only done this once and that was when we took him in the car for the first time to the vet.
i just wanted to share this cause i found it really weird and like we’ve only had him for a little while and we’ve never had a dog before, but i’ve always heard stories of dogs seeing things that are not there and how they can sense spirits. he probably vommited because he was so stressed from all that barking but seeing him in his little stance has me distraught. the way he kept taking 2 steps forward when he’d bark and then he’d growl and step back a bit. it didn’t make much sense. i don’t wanna creep myself out but it was a weird thing to witness
