Like their human companions, dogs also need to communicate.

They can do this by barking, whimpering, growling, howling, yelping and moaning. When one or two dogs make any of these excessively in close proximity to neighbours, the constant noise can become a problem. 

Dogs do not bark without a reason. Barking can occur when the dog is excited, when it threatens or warns, when it seeks its owner’s attention or when responding to a sound or signal.

To deter a dog from barking excessively, its owner needs to first find out when and why the dog is barking. The problem should then be treated in the early stages, as prolonged and habitual barking is very difficult and time consuming to correct.
