Why Do Dogs Bark?
Barking is basically a form of communication between dogs and other canine species. When they are young puppies, they make a soft sound when searching for comfort, warmth or food. However when hurt and afraid, they make louder crying sounds. However when they grow older they make five main types of sounds for communication. They are as follows: barking, growling, grunting, howling, and whining. Sometimes they abuse their freedom of communication by uselessly and excessively bark around or howl at nothing but the moon.

Barking is the most commonly used method of communication of dogs, which for humans sometimes can be annoying when in excess. Some dogs bark at trees, at shadows, at walls, or at toys.

Howling is a method of long-range communication to declare territory boundaries and sometimes to locate other family members. Usually associated with wolves, howling is a normal activity by dogs too, which can be very annoying at night when you are trying to get some rest.
Growling can occur in different situations. Dogs growl to threaten, warn, when in defense, in aggression, and to show dominance and bravery. But growling can also used in play as well. By looking at body posture we can tell the difference. Growls during aggression are accompanied by a stare or snarl, and the growling dog often remains motionless. Play-growls occur in combination with a wiggly tail and a play bow to signal willingness to play. These dogs are often moving and jumping about to entice play.
Grunts in dogs are the equivalent of contented sighs in humans. They can also be heard when dogs are greeting each other or people.
Whines or whimpers are short, medium-range modes of communication. Dogs whine when they are showing submissiveness, are frustrated or in pain, and to obtain attention.
