The trick here is to find the subject first because of the rule that whatever is not subject is predicate. Since the verb hear is giving an action, the subject is the one doing the action. In this case, it is the shepherd who is hearing. Eliminating these two words, the subject, from the sentence, we are left with "A barking sound ... hears" for the predicate. Of course this sounds funny, but so does the original sentence. The normal word order in standard English would be subject - verb - object which gives us the more normal sounding "The shepherd hears a barking sound." This reordering of the sentence then gives the more normal sounding predicate "hears a barking sound."
