To solve the problem, it is important to understand the reasons for the barking.

To solve the problem, it is important to ensure that the dog has toys. Also, do not leave the pet alone for a long time. If you are going on a picnic, it is better to take the animal with you so that it can release energy in the fresh air.

Health

If a dog feels pain or health problems, it can communicate this to its owner by barking.

Signs such as loss of appetite, apathy, and gastrointestinal problems may indicate health problems. If unpleasant symptoms occur, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Age

Small dogs are prone to loneliness and stress, so they may start whining and barking. If you spend more time with your pet, the barking will decrease.

Negative past

Frequent barking may be associated with traumatic events that affected the animal. To improve the situation, it is worth showing patience, love and care. Over time, the pet will begin to trust the person again.

By learning about the possible causes of barking, you can help your pet.
