• He’s feeling bad
• He suffered a trauma
• It needs time
• The collar is too tight

If your dog suddenly stops barking, it is likely that he is sick. He may have problems with his vocal cords due to inflammation, injury or infection .

In these cases it is important to evaluate whether this symptom is accompanied by others such as vomiting or tiredness. It would also be preferable to contact the vet and carry out a visit to rule out possible infections or diseases.

A traumatic experience could also be the cause of the dog not barking . This happens, for example, in cases where the animal tends to associate barking with mistreatment or a bad experience.

In this case, the ideal would be to contact a veterinarian specialized in behavior to undertake a path that will lead the animal to overcome the negative experience of the past.

Finally, in the case of puppies, the lack of barking is associated with the dog’s need to feel at ease. If the animal has been recently adopted, it will need time to get used to the family and the new environment.

Often, a dog’s lack of barking could be due to discomfort related to the collar. If the animal is led on a leash and tends to pull a lot with tugs, the collar could exert pressure, cause irritation or injury, leading the animal to associate its barking with pain.

4- What does it mean if the dog barks softly?

• He is about to defend himself or his master;
• He’s about to attack;
• He cries;
• Expresses happiness;
• He expresses annoyance.

The dog does not bark in a single way. The various ways in which it barks can help the owner understand what it wants to communicate. If the dog barks continuously and slowly , with a low tone, it means that it is preparing to defend itself or the owner.

Usually the low bark is accompanied by a nervous growl that announces an attack , for this reason it would be important to try to calm the animal and identify what it considers a danger.

On the contrary, a bark, that is a continuous barking, corresponds to a sort of crying, while if the dog barks constantly and rapidly with a medium tone, it is trying to send a warning message in response to what it considers a possible threat.

If the dog barks with energetic and short sounds, it means that he is happy. Usually, in fact, the animal barks in this way in the presence of the owner and people to whom he is attached. A single bark of medium intensity, on the other hand, indicates that the dog is annoyed by something and would like to put an end to a behavior that he considers annoying.
