2. 1.WARNING OR ALERT
If they feel a threat, many dogs will bark, saying, "I'm here to protect
this spot, so don't mess with me." This bark is usually harsh, loud, and
authoritative in nature. Training can help you hone this instinct and
safeguard your house and family.

3. 2.SEPARATION, ANXIETY.
Many dogs' anxious barking appears to be a form of self-soothing. It's
usually high-pitched and accompanied by whining. Dogs with
separation anxiety, anxieties and phobias, or other forms of anxiety are
prone to this type of barking.

4. 3. FOOD OR ATTENTION SEEKING
Dogs bark when they are trying to communicate with their human owners.
When your dog barks for attention, avoid eye contact and even leave the
room. When your dog is calm and quiet, praise and touch him to help him
understand that this is the behavior that will get you to pay attention to him.
When your dog is calm and not barking, you can give him or her a food treat.
This encourages desirable behavior while discouraging undesirable behavior.

5. 4.BOREDOM
Dogs who are left alone all day with nothing to do frequently develop boredom
and begin barking. Boredom barkers may continue to bark incessantly. To stop
your dog from barking out of boredom, make sure he or she is getting adequate
activity. If you take your dog for a morning stroll, they are more likely to sleep
until you get home. You should also make sure your home and garden are well-
stocked with entertaining toys and puzzles to keep them occupied while you
are away.

6. Put some of your dog's daily food allowance into a Kong toy or treat ball to make them
work for their treats. Keep their toys in a toy box.
Hide their toys and goodies throughout the garden to encourage them to forage, or
create a sand pile if they like to dig to divert their attention away from your garden. If
your dog has any playmates in the neighborhood, you may invite them over for the day
to keep him occupied.
You may also hire a 'dog walker' to walk your dog during the day while you are at work,
or a 'dog minder' to keep your dog company while you are gone for an extended amount
of time. You might also use a 'doggy day care' service in your area.

7. 5.EXCITEMENT OR PLAYFULNESS.
Puppies and young dogs are particularly prone to this form of barking.
When playing with people or other dogs, many dogs will bark. Even the
bark has a cheerful and possibly musical tone to it. When they know
they're going for a stroll or a car ride, some dogs will yelp joyfully.

8. 6.OTHER DOGS' REACTIONS.
This is an all-too-common circumstance. One dog down the street
begins to bark, and the rest of your block follows suit.
YOUTUBE

9. 7.FEAR
If your dog is afraid, he or she may express their anxiety by barking.
This might happen at home or away and refers to anything that makes
your dog nervous. It could be a person, a loud noise such as fireworks,
or an unusual circumstance.

10. 8.STRANGE PERSON OR ANIMAL
It's only normal for your dog to try to alert you to intruders. Your dog might not be able to tell the
difference between welcome visitors, passers-by, and intruders. Change your dog's association
from territory guarding to a positive experience by using predictable passers-by like the postman.
Try to anticipate the coming of the mailman by giving your dog a tasty treat or a favorite toy. Only
give your dog treats when he or she is quiet and not barking. With time, your dog may come to
associate a person passing by the house with something pleasant rather than someone to fear.

11. When your dog barks at your neighbors when they are in their garden, it is most likely to guard
your territory. Make sure you have some nice goodies on available so that your dog associates
the food with your neighbors (only give the treat when your dog is calm and not barking). You
may also urge your nice neighbors to treat your dog and provide them with their own supplies -
this is preferable to them yelling at your dog in annoyance, as yelling at a barking dog will
simply promote the barking and protective behavior. Barking is also reinforced when owners
yell or reprimand their own barking dog, therefore it's best to avoid it. Positive reinforcement —
that is, rewarding good 'silent' behavior while avoiding encouraging 'unwanted' behavior – is
key to successfully treating excessive barking.

12. 9.LONELINESS
Dogs are sociable animals, so it's natural for them to feel worried the first time they're left alone.
When your dog is young, teach him how to cope with being left alone. Begin by separating tiny
periods of time. For example, when you are still at home, you could leave your dog in the yard for
short periods of time. Make sure they have toys to play with and safe chew toys to gnaw on while
they're outside so they have a good time.

13. Gradually increase the amount of time you spend alone with your dog. If you must leave the
house, make sure they have a safe place to go, such as a kennel. Make sure they get lots of
exercises and have a variety of toys and safe chew toys/items to keep them occupied while you
are gone. When you get home, don't stress over your dog, make sure your leave and return are
both calm and uninterested. Most dogs adjust to being alone for long periods of time, but some
become extremely anxious and may begin to bark continuously or self-mutilate themselves. If your
dog suffers from separation anxiety, you'll need to work with a veterinarian to treat the problem.

14. 10.REACTIVE OR SURPRISE
This is usually a single bark, but it may be followed by others. To express astonishment, the pitch is
usually higher. It's a generally instinctive response to being surprised or startled, just like in people.
If you approach a dog who isn't paying attention or has poor hearing, or if they believe they see
something move swiftly in the grass, you may hear this.
Because they weren't likely prepared to bark in the first place, their bark may be uncontrolled, and
their body position may vary.

15. 11. HEALTH ISSUES, PAIN
Some dogs bark because they are in pain or have a medical problem. Check to check if your dog
has a tender location, if that region is touched, it may bark. You should get your dog examined by
a veterinarian since some dogs are skilled at hiding pain symptoms, even when you touch them,
and pain can occasionally be in hard-to-see regions like their ears or mouth.

16. 12.AGING DOGS
It's pretty usual for dogs to start barking more as they become older also making more noise in
general. Others older dogs may begin to bark excessively, some may bark for hours at a time,
entirely ignorant of their actions. Aside from canine cognitive dysfunction, which is related to
Alzheimer's disease, aged dogs may experience eyesight problems, deafness, or physical aches and
pains, all of which can cause them to bark.
