Dogs use sounds like barks, growls and whines, in combination with body language and even scent cues, to communicate with others. 📢
Dogs don’t just bark when they are excited, although it can seem that way when they are trying to get our attention. They also bark when they are frightened, lonely, surprised or irritated.
Dogs can vary the pitch of their bark, the number of barks in a row, and the space between barks in order to change the meaning. 🐶
A single bark may be given when a dog is surprised or annoyed, as if to say, “huh?” or “knock it off.” On the other hand, a long string of barks likely indicates the dog is far more worked up, such as the prolonged sound of alarm barking.
What is your dog trying to say to you? 🤔
