we have a 2 yr old GSD, being trained to sit in the hall 10 feet from the door, quietly on leash, to welcome a visitor.(instead of wildly running around the house and jumping up on people..) when the door is opened and visitor enters, Wolf begins a low Roooooooooo noise and seems to be excited but trying to control herself. same behavior today, as Wolf came out of the car on leash and was put on a sit while a friend unexpectedly approached the car. she only seems to Rooooo when she is being told to sit and would rather do something else like run around free and jump up on a visitor.. Should i be doing anything other than holding the leash and saying Good Sit? Why is she making this noise? she never roooooos any other time ....like for pure joy, or barking at the moon

The wishful expression of restraining herself. Its just so hard that she has to let it out somehow, I suspect. :smile:
Lady does this when the rabbit goes in its cage and she cant herd it, its pure frusteration and wishing, for lack of a better word.
At any rate, thats my unscientific explaination
my former dog used to make a noise that sounds like a person doing a rolling "R" sound mixed with a low pitched very, very soft howl...she did it after we fed her and only then.
it was very cute and really different from any sound I'd ever heard any dogs make doing anything.
my current dog, Brenna, is constantly making noises...and I'm still figuring out what some of them mean

My dog when I was a kid would walk up and do a full body wag as a greeting when we got home from school and then would turn still full body wagging and give out a big Ru RUUU!
I think it is just an express of excitement/greeting vocalized. Sure beat when he used to jump on us. It was very cute and we heard it from him pretty regularly.
When fargo is being ignored and bored or wants something like a toy out of the box to play with he will come up to me and put his nose against me ever so gently and say rrroooooogle rooooogle he sounds a little like a hamburgerler.
I had a dog as a kid that would say roooooo to us if she wanted our attention for something. This would be accompanied by happy excited body language ("look at me!!! play with me!!!") Unfortunately she did this once to someone who had never had a dog, and he thought she was growling at him.
I have a current dog who does this to my other dogs when he wants to play. roooOOO!!!
I would not correct it. As long as Wolf holds her sit.
well thanks for all the good info. the good news is that when Wolf is roooing she is still very obedient, as if to say I AM BEING GOOD BUT IT IS SOOOOO HARD !! last night at training , there were 4 more advanced GSDS (2 Sch1's ) and 2 GSDs who were just beginnning the schutzen 'sleeve' work. Wolf was watching intently from her SitzBleib and rooooing a lot from her sit, as the other dogs got to have all the fun with the sleeve ...then at the end the trainer let wolf get the sleeve in her teeeth and shake it while the trainer was pulling it away from her , what fun...almost wanted to try it myself haha.(biting the sleeve that is.)
