Is there anyway - a mod or via console - to make the dog stop barking all the time? Maybe it is not annoying to other people but I play a stealthy character. I realize that the NPCs may not hear the dog bark but I find it annoying when I'm B&E in a home, sneaking past the sleeping occupants only to hear my dog bark like he's trying to tell someone Timmy is in the well. When I sneak, my follower sneaks, at the least, the dog could be quiet. The same for the summoned companion that howls.

Again, I do realize that this is probably a problem for only a small group of people, but it resulted in me being unable to use the dog. If I could even just turn the dog volume down, that would help.

I play with headphones and I play with a large stereo system. To me the sound of a game (when I'm playing a stealthy character) is almost as important as the video. Perhaps a mod could be made by the Skyrim Modder Gods in which other animals can be used and be used quietly.
Thanks

There are several, like Quiet Dog (total silence) and Quieter Dogs (lower volume). I haven't found any in the Steam Workshop thus far.

On a related note, I use zombies, which say "Uhh..." all the time. Quiet Zombies removes that.

  • Unfortunately, the mod Quiet Dog no longer exists.

  • For the PS4, there is the mod Quiet Dogs. For the XBox One, closest I could find is Dogs Of Skyrim which makes dogs quieter, but it's a complete overhaul of dogs.

You should tell it to wait over there and then attack. The dog will come to help!
