Why do dogs bark?

Expert Answer

Barking is a way for dogs to express needs; they bark when hungry, cold, hot, uncomfortable, or afraid. Judge the cause from the situation and meet the need promptly.

Also mind their emotions; if a dog feels neglected, it barks for attention. Dogs crave companionship, so spend time interacting and playing with them.
