We have a West Highland Terrier and he often barks at the TV. Whilst barking he looks scared, although it doesn't matter what's on the TV.He also growls at it. Could anyone please help?

do you think he is trying to protect you,
my labrador barks at the hoover and gets in between my legs as if he is worried it will hurt me,
sorry i dont know the answer,

He could be which he has done in the past, but he genuinly looks scared and keeps backing away from it. Maybe he isn't used to the TV? It has just started in the past week or so, we've had him for a month.

We have a Westie aswell and she always barks at the TV. We've had her 9 weeks and it started a few weeks ago, so prob the same age as yours. Not sure why she does it, but she'll be fine and then something just spooks her. The annoying problem is, once she starts she won't stop! She's also the same with noises outside and if the cat jumps up somewhere she can't get him. Does yours do this? I can cope with her barking just wish she'd stop when told!
