How do you know the dogs communicate in many different ways, both among themselves and with other living beings, and some of them do it so clearly that sometimes we say that "if they need to talk, they know what they want to say and how to do it".
It is important to know that puppies communicate in many ways, for example with their smell, their body, with sounds and looks, etc. In the case of voice communication, the barks they are perhaps the most recognizable form of communication in dogs, but they are not the only form as they also scream, cry and moan.
In this article by PeritoAnimal we will focus on just one aspect of dog communication, barking. Certainly there are very different barks but they all have their reason for being. if you want to know what do dog barking mean, keep reading and clarify your doubts.
Continuous, fast barking with a medium tone
Dogs use a constant, fast and medium-pitched bark. when they detect someone unknown in their territory. For example, when a visit comes that they don't know or when someone they don't recognize gets too close to what they consider their territory. With this bark our dog is warning us of a possible intruder, giving an alarm every time he tries to expel the stranger from his area.
Continuous, slow, low-pitched barking
In this case the dog is clearly warning that are you prepared to defend yourself because he feels trapped. If, as in the case we explained in the previous point, the intruder did not deal with the dog's bark and decided to move forward and approach the dog or us incorrectly, and we do not indicate to our faithful companion that the visit is welcome, of course our dog will want to defend and defend us.
This kind of constant, but slow, low-pitched barking by itself clearly indicates to us that soon there will be an attack, but dogs indicate this situation with all their body and behavior, that's why we can easily notice when we are bothering, irritating or even terrorizing the dog. He warns us and when he has no other option he acts, a dog never attacks without warning. Find out in our article what you should do if your puppy tries to attack another puppy.
Short, high-pitched low-pitched bark
When our dog emits a short but high-pitched low-pitched bark it is telling us that something bothers you. If we observe a bark like this along with restless body language, we should immediately revise the medium to try to understand what might be bothering our partner or make him understand the situation properly.
short bark loudly
If you hear your dog bark briefly but in a loud tone it indicates positive surprise or joy. this bark is characteristic as greeting when he sees us coming through the door of his house or meets someone, it can be a person, another dog or even his favorite toy, for which he has great affection and which he is so happy to see. It is a type of bark that clearly indicates happiness and emotion.
Shaky bark in a medium tone

We can see this barking also among dogs when they are looking to play along with very clear body language with heels, lowering their heads while raising their backs and moving their tails quickly and constantly, etc.
Long and continuous barks
We usually identify this type of bark as whining that we are used to feeling sorry for. This is precisely the intention of our faithful friend, get our attention because you feel lonely and want company.
These are the typical barks that neighbors complain about when the owner leaves the house and leaves the dog alone and, precisely for this reason, they are very long and continuous barks. It's a sound that clearly denotes that the dog feels abandoned, alone, annoyed or even scared and needs you by his side. Find out about separation anxiety if this problem occurs with your puppy.
