A dog will bark for many circumstances. He may feel it is time to eat or be tired of nothing to do, or maybe he wants to play or needs to go out to the toilet. It is completely normal for a dog to bark if he sees or hears a strange dog or animal.

And of course at times it is extremely vital for your dog to alert you with a bark; for example when something is wrong, or a stranger is on your property.

These reasons for a commotion are your dog's method of making things known and should not be discouraged unless it starts to become excessive.

Obsessive barking is a very different subject. A pet who barks non-stop is very much exasperating for the entire neighbourhood. No amount of pleading, coaxing, punishment or bribery will quiten the dog for other than a few minutes - the dog completely refuses to obey you!

Besides causing trouble with your neighbours, most local government bodies have regulations against excessive barking, which can result in large penalties and fines.

As with any compulsive action, uncontrollable barking can be very difficult to overcome by people who do not know the correct approach. Actually, In reality quite a few people get so pushed to the limit that they go to extreme lengths: corporal punishment, collars with electrical shocks, and even surgically removing the voicebox.
