Why do dogs bark
The voice is such a tool for communication and expression of emotions for dogs, as it is for humans.
With the help of barking, the dog reacts to the world around him or shows that something is wrong with him.
The most common causes of barking are:

- Fear;
- Aggression;
- Happiness;
- Hunger;

Dogs bark when they are joyful and happy.
When the dog is happy, he not only barks, but also waves his tail, relaxes his ears.
