Why do dogs bark

By barking, dogs communicate and express their attitude towards a particular situation.

Many animals constantly bark at passers-by and other dogs. Thus, protecting their territory.

Dogs often bark when they are scared or anxious.

If the animal has not been socialized, any type of contact with strangers that introduces new smells and other cues may seem threatening.

Constant barking can greatly disturb both you and those around you.
