Aggressive barking is identified by a low pitched bark with a hint of growling.

Attention seeking barking: This behavior is noticed among young puppies that call you to pay attention to them. This bark may be very shrill in intensity and often very high pitched in tenor. You may need to ignore such barks under some special circumstances.

Excitement barking: This type of bark is accentuated by dog’s sheer excitement of playing with children. Short and sharp barks are interspersed with occasional bursts of high pitched snorting!

Self identification barking: This type of barking is a broadcasting type in nature and it is usually infectious in nature. Just listen to those dogs barking chorus in your neighborhood; this barking is also a simple communication technique between different dogs.

Boring barking: This is a lazy type of barking that provides an outlet for the dogs to vent their boredom.

Separation anxiety barking: Upset dogs tend to howl and bark in a high pitched voice. This type of barking is very annoying in nature and can disturb your neighbors.

Sudden barking: Many unfamiliar and sudden stimuli can make your puppy bark; more often this may be a type of barking that develops a sense of fear in the puppy. This type of barking must be controlled quickly.
