Repeated barking is a common problem for many dog owners. The most common type of
repeated barking is called territorial or alarm barking. Dogs may bark when they hear an
unfamiliar noise, see an unfamiliar person, or smell an unfamiliar animal.
The second type of repeated barking is attention-seeking behavior. Dogs may bark to get their
owner’s attention if they are bored and want something to do.

like birds, squirrels, cats, etc.
