Many dog owners are faced with perennial barking issues. You will surely be stressed out if you have a pooch that barks even without due cause. You will also be earning the ire of your neighbors for the noise pollution that your dog is creating.

Dogs bark for a number of reasons. Aside from body language, dogs express their feelings via different types of vocalizations. Dogs bark to alert the pack members of the presence of an intruder or stranger; barking is also a way of communicating with other canines.  

For some dogs, barking has developed to become an undesirable behavior. In order to address the problem, you have to delve deeper into the underlying cause of the problem. Some dogs bark incessantly as a result of anxiety and loneliness, or it is a way to get their owners’ attention. In a way, persistent barking may be your dog’s method of telling you that it is bored and there is nothing exciting happening in its daily life.
