Dogs have turned into an important part of many people’s lives who happen to be their owners. Dogs are not simply pets; they are friends, a listening ear, a defender, a snuggle buddy, and so on. 

Dogs use barking as one kind of vocal communication, and it can mean various things depending upon the circumstances. Nobody ought to expect that a dog would never bark, because that is pretty much as nonsensical as expecting that a child would never talk.

However, a few dogs can bark too much, and if that is an issue in your home, the first step is to find out what makes your dog bark excessively. When you know the reason behind their excessive barking, you can begin treating their barking issue. 

There are various reasons that can make a dog bark. It could be a territorial breach, in response to an alarm, boredom or loneliness, greeting or play, seeking attention, separation anxiety, or impulsive barking.

Also, it’s always a good idea to have your pet checked by a vet to be certain there's no medical justification for an issue. This brings us to today's case, brought to the Reddit AITA online community by a user named u/EsseB420.
