Why Does My Dog Bark at Other Dogs? 1:05 Dogs bark for various reasons, including social engagement, fear, or frustration. Reactive or aggressive barking often stems from discomfort, fear, or past negative experiences. Positive reinforcement training and management strategies can help address excessive or concerning barking behaviors. You take your dog for a walk and across the street he spots the neighbor's German shepherd.

Puppies cry for various reasons, including stress, loneliness, or needing to go outside. Comforting your puppy with petting and attention can help ease their stress and crying. Over time, puppies cry less as they grow more independent and confident in their environment. Puppies learn to communicate with you through their actions (wagging tail, eye contact, cuddling up next to you, etc.). They also communicate through vocalization. There's a whole range of noises that your puppy may make.
