Barkley (Muppet character)
Barkley, originally named Woof-Woof, was a dog character on the children's television program Sesame Street. Barkley seems to be an Old English Sheepdog.
Introduced in the less-than-successful A Special Sesame Street Christmas, its original actor Toby Towson notes that Barkley was originally intended to be an acrobatic ape.
Owned by deaf librarian Linda, the character made its formal television debut in the tenth season of the show. Its name changed in the coming episodes from "Woof-Woof" to "Barkley". It is of note that producers and Towson spelt the original name "Woov-Woov".
Around this time, Towson's contract ran out, and Bruce Connelly replaced him.
Barkley was used in the show's closing credit sequence from 1980-1992, in which he and a group of children played in Central Park.
Also, in the Album "Hot Hot Hot Dance Songs", Barkley and Prarie Dawn sang a song called Do the Dog
Barkley remained a major recurring character on the show until the mid- to late-1990s, and rarely appears currently.
Cheers :)

RE:
Does anyone remember the big dog Barkley on Sesame Street?
I remember him being on there a long time ago, but he's not on there anymore? What happened to him? Did Zoe run over him in her car?

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://bitly.im/K77TY
The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.
The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.
Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://tinyurl.im/kAYzL
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Barkley was slightly after I watched "Sesame Street", but he still pops up in old videos my son used to watch. What a cool dog! Why can't they keep him and get rid of Elmo?
