Barking for a dog is not only a means to scare its enemies, but is also one of the methods of communication.

Therefore, it is worth determining why the dog decided to bark at you.

What reasons can be identified?

Lack of physical activity

Some dog breeds need to be exercised. At the very least, they need to be walked long and well.

If this is not done, behavioral problems will arise, experts say.

Excitement and worry

In moments of emotional instability, dogs can behave differently. Barking in this case will be one of the options for expressing the animal's feelings.

Fear

If you look different, the dog may be slightly confused. In this case, barking will show that the animal does not recognize you and is trying to figure out the situation.

Nothing to do

If the animal is bored, it is necessary to find it something to do. Sometimes a dog uses its barking to tell its owner that it craves attention and entertainment.
