Dog barking, a canine behavior that should be understood, so it may be corrected.

Dog barking is a perfectly natural canine behavior.  All animals have some form of voice and dog barking, whining and howling is the form of voice for the dog.  Some dog barking should be expected if you own a dog.  However, this canine behavior in excess can be controlled.  Please don't think that you can stop dog barking completely.  This just won't happen, nor should it.

Dog barking usually occurs when a dog cannot investigate sudden noises or movements they can see, hear or smell such as people or other dogs passing by, a knock at the door, a car coming into the driveway or seeing, hearing or smelling other animals such as squirrels or cats.  A natural canine behavior is to seek the company of other dogs and people.  Dogs are social animals so if you leave a dog alone for a long period of time, the dog may bark to attract attention.  Confining a dog without exercise and play periods will build up the unused energy of the dog, so it barks for relief and once the barking becomes a habit, it is difficult to stop dog barking.

Dog barking can be trained into a dog by unsuspecting owners who don't understand canine behavior.

Dog barking is likely to become a hobby with a dog that gets what it wants with a short bark.  The dog may be unintentionally trained to bark because the owner will let the dog out if it gives a yap and will let it back in with another yap.  This canine behavior is learned because the dog has received attention for all types of behaviors when it barks.  The nature of barking automatically gains attention from us.

Dog barking happens when a dog is left alone all day without supervision.  The dog is likely to bark out of sheer boredom, loneliness, frustration or fright.  The dog soon learns that it is something to do to counter these unsupervised times and with no one to control this animal behavior, the dog's barking becomes enjoyable comfort.  Soon it is just sheer fun for the dog to bark when it is alone.
