There is nothing new with dogs barking. Dogs bark. It is part of their normal and natural communication and behavior. Dogs

can bark for appropriate and good reasons, such as when strangers approach our house, they hear an odd noise, or they are

herding sheep. Most of us want our dogs to be "watch dogs" and alert us to anything unusual.

Humanity in its ways blended with the canine family more that anything in the animal kingdom. History of the two could be

traced as early as men first walked the earth. They have been each other’s constant companion. Throughout the years, men

and dogs could almost be associated with everything and recently this relationship has come over to an entirely new level.

Dogs are treated more than just pets. They are treated just like family members. When we welcome them into our family, we

have to see to it that we welcome them and make their 1st few days not as shocking as possible.

Bear in mind that these are our pets. They have needs but they cannot tell us what it is as they could not speak our

language. The most they could do is to bark or whimper to let us know what they feel at the moment.

Do not mistake howling and barking as sign of discontentment on their part. Perhaps there are other factors at play like

the environment and other dogs. By carefully listening to every action and whimper and bark they have, it would enable us

to know and understand their present situation.
