Beyond the Bark: Other Vocal Expressions:
Dogs use other forms of vocal expressions beyond just barking. These can include howling, whining, and growling.
Dogs usually howl when trying to communicate with other dogs or when they call out for help or company. Howling can also be done in response to hearing certain high-pitched sounds, like sirens or music.
Dogs whine for a number of reasons, including when they are hungry, thirsty, need to relieve themselves, when looking for attention or when they are excited.
Dogs most often growl when they are scared, threatened or in pain. Although, growling can sometimes occur during play, as well. Growling often occurs when a dog feels very uncomfortable and can be a warning signal. Dog owners should never reprimand a dog for growling but should instead remove whatever is causing the dog to be uncomfortable or nervous.

Noreen dogs are nocturnal, although they have been domesticated by human beings however they have many similarities with their closest cousins – wolves. Activity including barking can increase during night since basic traits and basic features make them do that. The best you can do for your dog and your grand daughter is to get your dog a few activities in the daytime so that he is tired dozes off in the night for that take help of dummies for dog training. Besides change the lighting pattern of the place where your dog is at night and observe which lights soothe him not to bark.

My 3 year old labrador retreaver barks at night a short as i call it a call bark have tried talking, hand signals leaving him but he eventually stops for a while then starts up again. He sleeps outside has since 9 months old, cannot come indoors as my son is allergic to dog hair, i think he is lonley i have to stay with him and do treat him to keep him quiet i know its wrong but i have to keep him quiet or he wakes my 2 year old granddaughter up. During the day he is quiet or barks to let me know someone is there i am more than frustrated, i understand he must listen but he will not be able to stay. I play with him during the day and give him as much attention as possible, any suggestions.
