【Expert answer】
Any Q

Why does my greyhound bark? 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 greyhound barks?

As far as the dog is concerned all of these can be arousing stimuli and a dog's response to arousal is often to bark. Dogs may also bark due to anxiety – especially when they are left alone without adequate training to help them to cope.

How do I stop my greyhound from barking?

If it is a warning bark when people walk by then changing the perception that this is a not threat will help alleviate the problem. It may seem counter intuitive but giving a reward when people walk close to the house does work. When voices are approaching ask your dog to go to their mat and then reward.

How can you tell if a greyhound is happy?

A dog that is very interested in what's going on will usually prick their ears. A neutral ear position is often best when working with your greyhound as this means they are nice and relaxed. Teeth chattering: This is a very unique trait for greyhounds which is usually a sign of anticipation and excitement.

Why is my dog barking for no reason?

There are several potential explanations as to why your dog may bark for what seems like no reason. These include boredom, frustration, anxiety, or excitement. Some dogs do exhibit compulsive barking which is the closest to barking for no reason. This is usually accompanied by pacing.
