Barking is one of the behavioral problems that dogs experience and it’s a dog’s natural and intuitive way to communicate vocally to tell you about what they want. It’s a healthy activity to express emotion, frustration, excitement, mood, etc. Barking might also be a call to play, a way to intimidate, a warning of danger, an indication of some underlying health issues, or be a defensive gesture.

Some poorly socialized, solitary, and insufficiently educated dogs that are getting no attention or inadequate exercise can have issues with barking. It could be a problem if repeated more than 4 times a day, lasting more than 5 minutes, between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., especially for those living in quiet neighborhoods in apartments or condos.
