1. Compulsive barking
Compulsive barking in dogs is one of the most common types of barks. It can be triggered by almost anything. From a stranger passing by to a flock of birds flying close to the ground, or the sound of a siren, for example. Dogs often bark compulsively out of boredom. That’s right. So, when you hear your dog barking this way, it is probably a good idea to throw him a little dog toy so he can play or to take him for a walk. In some cases, dogs may bark this way because they are anxious about something.
