Bark Dog Hear
***
Dogs use a bark to communicate and to make
themselves heard. If you hear your dog bark, then, you first need to
determine whether there is something that may be causing your dog to bark.
When you hear your dog bark, there are some basic causes behind the bark:
•Separation Anxiety: Dogs that have been separated from their owners for a
while or who have recently gotten new owners may bark more. If you have a
new dog, it is normal to hear that dog bark more often. This should pass
in time, and you can help ease the barking and the stress your dog feels
by giving the dog more attention. Some dogs will also bark because they
want to hear you - if you are in another room or inside while the dog is
outside, the dog may become fearful that you will leave them. A bark is
sometimes a good way for your dog to let you hear them.
•Irritation or Anger: Whether it is a cat, the sound of a phone ringing,
the rustle of curtains, or a sound too tiny for you to hear, there are
many noises that will irritate a dog and cause it to bark. Since a dog can
hear far more acutely than we can, it is common for them to bark at sounds
that we cannot even hear. Sometimes, all it takes to soothe the bark is to
provide some softer background sound for your dog to hear - a radio played
at very low volume, for example, can drown out other sounds. If your dog
can’t seem to stand the sound of something particular - the doorbell, for
example - remove that appliance or machine.
•Restlessness: Dogs who do not get enough social time or exercise through
walks may get restless, causing them to bark. If you want to hear the
sound of your dog’s snoring instead of their bark, walk your pet
regularly.
•Pain: The first thing you should listen for when you hear your dog bark
is sounds of distress. Your dog may be trying to tell you he or she needs
help.
