There are many reasons a dog might bark at its owner. Dogs might bark when they are afraid, overly excited, aggressive, nervous, dominant, etc. To tell which one of these or other emotions your dog might be feeling, watch the dog's body language: tail between the legs, hair raised on the back of the neck, teeth showing, or tail wagging and dog jumping around or spinning in circles will help you decipher their intentions.

You might try an obedience training course if you want to learn how to better relate to your dog.

Your dog may be scared of you. If you are generally unhappy or abusive, your dog will not like you. Dogs can sense fear and rage. You need to act relaxed around dogs and always treat them with love. You may also look "scary" Some dogs bark at hats and sunglasses or even people with a lot of facial hair. These are only a few things that might upset your dog. Best wishes.

DogsWhen they see people outside they start to bark and their also very protective of their owners that so they bark to scare away people

Dog d

Dogs bark to communicate to each other and to humans. 2010 Nova had a program that said dogs have six distinct barks and sounds that almost all people can understand, although they mght not realize it. One of the most distinct sounds is the "wolf howl" that dogs and wolves make to say, "Hey, we're not together! Let's all find each other and be together!" They tend to do this more at dawn and evening when the pack would normally form a group. Dogs bark at fencelines to define and defend their territory-- fences make such obvious lines! They get quite loud about it, to say, "This is my side, that is YOUR side." Dogs make a kind of bark-yip when they are tied up or confined and want to be released -- so they can be with you -- it's not quite the same howl that they make when they can't see you, but it can turn into that if you walk out of sight. And so forth.

All dog's will react different it depends on the dog you barked to so if you bark at a dog that does bark a lot then it will most likely bark back but if the dog doesn't bark a lot then it might not again it depends on the dog.if you are trying to teach your dog not to bark then i would not recommend barking at it.

Happy Barking ;)
