Why is your dog barking?

Window, attention, boredom, alone-time and walk barking each need a different fix. Answer a few questions to find your dog’s main reason and two first steps to start with.

Step 1 · Safety check

Five quick safety questions first

Barking from pain or panic needs a vet, not a training plan. Answer honestly.

1. Did the barking start suddenly in the last few weeks?
2. Is your dog 8 or older and barking or pacing at night, or getting lost at home?
3. Any limping, stiffness, flinching when touched, or changes in eating, drinking or toileting?
4. When alone, does your dog drool, toilet, damage doors or windows, or refuse food?
5. Has your dog bitten or tried to bite a person or dog?
