Answer 2

Dogs bark for various reasons. Barking shows excitement to see you or another dog. Sometimes it's to warn away someone. Some dogs get board and just bark to do something. Other dogs bark because they hear another dog or dogs barking.
It's not really a true language you know.

Wolves don't bark. Nor foxes or coyotes. Just dogs bark. So it has something to do with being with us humans. So the next time you want to tell your dog to shut-up the barking, keep that in mind. Cut him some slack. Best way to get a dog to stop barking is to make him lie down. Ever notice how hard it is for a dog to keep barking when they are lying down?

Barking is a common presenting complaint yet it is a nonspecific sign, not a diagnosis. It may be exhibited in many contexts and the underlying reasons need to be addressed if the problem is to be resolved. Dogs bark as a form of communication. They bark when excited, as a greeting, as a warning, when they are fearful, in pain, anxious and when they are not sufficiently stimulated, either mentally or physically. Since dogs became domesticated some dogs have been specifically bred for this trait and hence are highly motivated to bark
Some Reasons for barking
Dogs that have separation anxiety are overly attached to people, generally their owners. They are very likely to vocalise when left alone or when they do not have access to their owner. They may also become destructive and eliminate indoors when they have no access to human company.
Some dogs have learnt that the one very effective way of getting attention is to vocalise. Even if the attention is negative it is better than no attention. Dogs can also be intermittently rewarded for barking. For example, if a dog is allowed inside the house when it barks to prevent neighbours complaining or because the owner can no longer tolerate the noise it has now learnt that barking brings attention as well as the pleasure of being allowed inside. It is now even more likely to repeat the behaviour and to be even more persistent in barking.
Treatment Options
Once the predisposing factors have been determined then appropriate action can be taken to limit the barking. However, it is important to stress to owners that barking can never be totally eliminated, nor should it be, for the welfare of the dog.
Many things can help to decrease a dog's territorial response. Obedience training may help to modify some territorial behaviour. Additionally, desensitisation and counterconditioning can help decrease a dog's reactivity to the various arousing stimuli. Confining or crating dogs, can help as the triggers are less audible or accessible.
Placing the dog in a sit or down stay and then rewarding, can be useful for short term control such as when visitors arrive. Using a head collar such as a Halti or Gentle Leader can also give owners more control. The dog needs to learn to be calm initially when there are no distractions, then distractions should be gradually introduced, as it is impossible for the dog to obey or learn new behaviours when it is very excited or aroused. :-)

Answer 4

This is kind-of a simple question to answer, Dogs bark to communicate like we talk... But dogs also Bark for different reasons like to tell people "I don't know you please get away!" Or "Hi please be my friend!" There are many reasons and Yes dogs do basiclly have their own langauge.

Answer 5

Yes. Like we talk with people, they talk with other dogs. They bark sometimes for attention (like if they were put in the yard all day-and want to spend time inside with you), and they bark to protect you. To defend the property. And their owner(s). I hope this helps. Take care.

Have you seen the movie Cats and Dogs?? That's exactly what they do. They have they're own dog language just like we have human language which is ENGLISH! It's they're way of talking.

Answer 8

Mainly to commincate with other dogs (as they would in a pack in the wild if they found themselves alone) or to get your attention. They also use it as a warning to predators or anything they find threatening.

Answer 9

Why do you talk?? That is their way of communication. We may not be able to understand it but they can't really understand us well either except for commands we give them right and their name right?

Answer 10

It's the way they communicate with each other.
