<< Dogs bark because they are bored and want attention. >> Some dogs bark simply because they can. My dogs are not bored and definitely do not lack for attention. I have a tri boy that barks continuously when he's outside. If it moves, he barks at it. If it makes a sound, he barks at it. Let a squirrel run up a tree within his sight, and he will bark non-stop at the tree for hours if I would let him. Let an airplane fly over and he barks until the plane is gone. Yes, some dogs bark for attention. But many dogs just plan like to hear the sound of their own voices and it can become a major problem. I am not a big fan of debarking as a first resort. But as a last resort, rather than having the dog euthanized, it can be a viable option.
