Barking
A bark which is a vocal reaction to an environmental
stimulus and which may be directed towards an object or
another individual.
(Eisfeld, 1966; Fox, 1971;
van den Berg et al., 2003)
This German Shepherd is
barking at an unfamiliar dog; her stance is frontal, her
hackles are raised and tail is wagging.
This beagle is barking at
another dog, exhibiting lips pulled back vertically.

In this interaction between two males, the beagle takes
a frontal stance, standing tall and barking
at the German Shepherd. I ask the owner of the German
Shepherd to walk forward towards the Beagle, to remove
the responsibility of controlling the German Shepherd.
The German Shepherd moves nearer, seeks support from his
owner, and then approaches the Beagle. The Beagle lifts
a front paw, avoiding eye contact, then lowers his tail,
arches his back, and moves away.
