Dear neighbor,\n\nYour dog is a noise problem in our Artesia neighborhood. He starts barking every morning at 6:40 and continues all day at random times. It is extremely annoying and unhealthy to be waked up every morning.  The Unnecessary and long barking  during the day is also irritating and disturbing. Can you Please stop your dog from baring all the time. Please Keep your dog inside in the morning. Maybe you can  talk with a veterinarian and / or a dog trainer, can you perhaps look for anti-barking devices at pet stores or any on line store like (www.ultimatebarkcontrol.com/p... or www.hitecpet.com/nobarkcollars... Read books about barking or search "why a dog barks" at Google to find useful articles so that you can better understand your dog . All of us in the neighborhood would appreciate your attention to this.\nThank you greatly\nsincerely (your name)

I don't know, but why not? They dream. Dogs twich when they dream about chasing something, they also run in their sleep, and growl.

dogs don't really understand you, they are just picking up on your emotions.  but they do love you unconditionally though.

My dogs bark. He's only like thiry pounds but he has a set of lungs on him. he is so dramatic when he barks, and he has to bark everytime he gets a chance. He always has to let me know when their are kids playing out side, or some one gets home, etc. I have tons of thow pillows just for this reason. He is scaird of them so i just thow one toward him, and he shuts up.

My dogs love the Christmas tree, I've resorted to putting things in front of the tree so that they can't get to the tree, this might help, or just make a lot of noice to spook the dog away from the tree, doing some of this will make the dog less likely to bother the tree.

Many municipalities have ordinances that regulate loud dogs. I would suggest that you check your local laws. It is very possible that your neighbor is in violation. Once you know it is against the law to have the dog barking all the time call the police to report the problem.

There was this one dog or cat (can't remember) who acted like he was swimming when you put him above a body of water.\n\nFor example, they held him over the toilet and he would wave his paws like be was swimming of course he never got wet!\n\nHilarious show!

My dogs do that alot at night too.  I asked this same question on Yahoo! Answers about 3 weeks ago.  My dogs howl usually when an emergency vehicle goes by (when they hear a police siren, fire truck, ambulace, paramedics).  I think the sound hurts their ears, however, all the other dogs in the neighborhood too, so it could be the "pack instinct".

Aggressive dog behavior is overwhelmingly the fault of humans. In some cases, particularly in cases where children are bitten, the dog is provoked into it. This might not be intentional, but I work with animals and can't tell you how many times parents will be standing right next to their kids, but are oblivious to the fact that they are smacking rather than petting an animal, pulling its ears, poking it or getting in its face. The only way dogs have to tell them to stop is aggression. Although this is more common with children, I have seen plenty of grown adults that should know better approach or treat animals in a way that is inappropriate and could trigger aggression. This is usually the cause of "sudden, unexpected" aggression from dogs that have a long track record of good behavior.\n\nDogs that exhibit aggressive behavior regularly were most likely made that way by their owners, either intentionally or not. Many people will buy "macho" breeds like rottweilers and pit bulls and teach them to be aggressive because they think it's cool. What is unfortunately even more wide spread is aggression fostered in dogs because of poor treatment on the part of their owners. Dogs are social animals. Most canines live naturally in packs, and domestic dogs instinctually look to their human family to be their pack. Many dogs are kept chained their entire lives, or live outside in yards or cages and rarely get attention or socialization. This is like being in solitary containment for them, and after a while it can cause a number of "bad" behaviors, such as constant barking, digging, chewing, and of course, aggression.

Apes include gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and humans are said to 'chatter'\n\nOrang-utan bands in Borneo and Sumatra both make kiss-like squeaking noises to communicate, but only in Borneo have they learned to cup their hands over their mouths to change the noise.\n\nGibbons - there are 11 different types - are all very good at singing. but technically they whoop\n\nmonkeys were said to 'natter' in india, screech in Africa, and howl in indonesia. \n\nbut to answer your question, monkeys chatter, when they make quick repeated noises. However so do birds?\n\nthey also babble in the background\n\n\n\n\n\npresimians (lemurs) bark

Some dogs are alpha dogs. They are born with the natural inclination to be a leader. They have no problem confronting other dogs and fighting for what they think is rightfully theirs. At the opposite end of the spectrum, some dogs are epsilon dogs. They are the lowest in the pack. They are naturally inclined to think all the other dogs are above them and that they must have the permission of everyone else to eat, sleep drink, and in fact, they get very stressed when there isn't another dog to tell them what to do. They are  natural followers.\n\nPeople are much the same way. Unlike dogs, we may, and should sometimes, force outselves into social roles which we have no natural inclination towards. This often creates stress for us.\n\nAlpha people get stressed when they're not in control. Epsilon people get stressed when they are placed in a position of great responsability over other.\n\nYou are not naturally inclined to confront people. Even when you make a conscious effort to assert yourself, you're not naturally geared for it and it stresses you. When they are not agreeable it stresses you more. You are probably a very nice person who naturally is more geared towards seeing yourself as an equal or sub-ordinate of another person and when you see yourself as an equal and afford them something they do not reciprocate, it offends you. That is also why you shake.\n\nNow here's the solution. Keep asserting yourself when you feel someone is trying to take advantage of you. You can be polite and still let people know you are not one to be taken advantage of. If you don't stand up for yourself, you're right, you will be treated like a door mat.

Everything God created has a way of communicating. They may not cry, but they sure have a way of communication with themselves and things created in their likeness.\n\nHave you not seen a dog cry before, a parrot, cat, etc they all cry.\n\nI don't know whether God cries, nothing was ever mentioned of that nature in the bible. If he does, then it would be interesting.

Because they are different. A frog lives mainly in water, and a toad lives on land. They are not the same kind of animal. You might as well ask why do dogs bark and cats meow? Obviously, that's because that is what they do!!\n\nHope you agree.
