Quiet Dog

A simple mod that reduces idle dog barking.
This mod only affects idle barking. Your dog will still bark during combat or tricks.



3 options:

1). Sit
Your dog can only bark when he is sitting or in combat.

2). Stand or Lying
Your dog can only bark when he is standing, lying down or in combat.

3). Complete Silence
Your dog does not bark unless in combat.

I recommend the Sit and Stand or Lying options so your dog still can respond when you talk to him.
Personally, I use Sit option but you can try any option so you can find what works best for you.

Bark rate(Highest to lowest) : Vanilla > Stand or Lying > Sit > Complete Silence





How it works

Spoiler:

It does not actually remove the idle bark animation.
It simply replaces the idle bark animation with another idle animation.

There are 3 idle bark animations.
dog_spice_bark.hkx - Stand and Lying animation 
Replace with mt_idle.hkx

dog_spice_sit_bark.hkx - Sit animation
Replace with dog_spice_sit_idle.hkx

idlecombat_barkrun.hkx - Walk/Run animation 
Replace with mt_idle.hkx

Credit

This mod is not my idea. I just follow instruction from ThePopeKYA and Clevon. So all credits go to them.
