Greyhounds, like other dogs, will often bark when kennelled or in yards. They may be barking at other dogs, people walking past, seeking attention or alerting you to a threat. This is normal barking behaviour and is the way greyhounds communicate with each other and with people.
What does it mean when a dog barks at you?
Some dogs bark at people or other animals to gain attention or rewards, like food, toys or play. Your dog might be barking in greeting if he barks when he sees people or other dogs and his body is relaxed, he's excited and his tail is wagging. Dogs who bark when greeting people or other animals might also whine.

Most dogs love attention from their owners. In some cases, your dog may be so demanding for attention that it barks at you to get it. This isn't good behavior to reinforce, however. If you give in to such demands, you're creating a rewards cycle that teaches your dog to bark every time it wants attention.
