Why does your dog bark?

    My dog barks at everything that moves in the night. He also sleeps right under my window, so I know every time when something is moving outside. Oh, I forgot to mention I have three dogs, but Molly is the leader. When she barks everyone does, even the neighbor's dog.

    Tell me your dog stories.

    I just did a bit of research on this last month. Why do dogs bark? I have 3 and sometimes its like a freakin' canine symphony in my backyard. I've found that territorial or protective defense are the most common reasons why most dogs bark. Distress vocalizations due to fear or separation anxiety excitement or greeting during play is another reason. A dog that NEEDS attention may bark or one that is frustrated. My dogs bark at others down the street that are barking. And lastly some dogs bark out of compulsivness due to personality.

    why cat meow? Good question. That is the sound they produce and it's a way of conversation between these animals.

    At night my dog will keep me up barking sometimes to 3 am in the morning because we have possums in the backyard. He's alway's trying to get up the tree to get at them.
