INTRODUCTION

 

It's completely natural for dogs to bark, and it’s one of their most essential forms of communication after energy and body language. Dogs will bark as a warning, to guard their pack and territory. They'll also bark to express excitement.

Those forms of barking are hardly ever a nuisance and don’t last for very long. That's the reason why nuisance barking generally has the same cause and the same solution. When a dog barks too much, it’s almost always telling you that he's bored and is searching for stimulation or a challenge.

Unavoidably, excessive barking signifies there's a problem with the human, and not the dog; there's something not balanced in the pack, so the dog’s needs are not being satisfied. The barking is the sole method the dog has to inform you something is wrong. This eBook will try to help you, dog owners, to figure out why your dog is barking excessively and what you can do to handle the situation.
