A dog is considered a man's best friend. However, unfortunately, dogs cannot tell their owners everything, so they try to convey their thoughts through barking.
If she starts barking for no reason, most likely the owner simply does not understand why exactly this is happening.
Why Do Dogs Bark For No Reason?
A dog will never bark without a reason. Most likely, it sees an irritant or smells an unfamiliar scent. Also, the dog may just be bored, because they all, too, have their own character.
The animal may react in this way to a fly, a cat or another object that it is ready to attack.
Barking can be a signal that strangers are approaching the door or a hint that a favorite toy is stuck somewhere. Also, a pet can ask for something to drink or eat in this way, or it is simply in a good mood and wants to run, jump, play. If this is the case, you need to take care of your dog and pay more attention to it.
Prolonged barking may signal nervousness from an unfamiliar place or an irritant that reminds him of something unpleasant. To help your pet cope with this, contact your veterinarian to examine him and determine whether treatment is necessary.
Reasons for barking at strangers
If the dog is still small, up to 8 months, then it does not yet distinguish strangers from its own. Closer to a year, the dog grows up and barks out of fear. Also, barking can be a consequence of improper upbringing and training. When the dog suddenly falls silent and does not make any sounds for a long time, this may indicate that the pet is unhealthy.
Reasons for barking at other dogs
This does not always carry aggressive behavior. Most often, it is just emotions. Puppies generally suffer from an excess of feelings and will not miss any living creature. When dogs bark at each other, it is a way to say hello and invite them to play.
If you feel aggressive notes when barking, you need to teach your pet not to do this. Aggression can be caused by fear or poor socialization of the pet.
Reasons for barking at a certain person
If a dog reacts badly to a certain person, it means that it does not like that person. The irritant may be the smell, movements or appearance. Also, the dog may react to a person who is too tall, his headdress or glasses or beard. The pet may be nervous due to a persistent aroma, body movements and direct eye contact. It is also believed that dogs are able to sense a person's character and understand whether they can be trusted.
