Verbal

Communication

Dogs communicate by using a range

of different sounds, which include

the following:

Whimpering

A puppy may whimper when he is cold or hungry as a

signal to his mother. A puppy settling in a new home may

also do this.

Barking

This is sometimes used as a warning, often at the

approach of strangers. Some dogs bark when they are

excited, or it could be a sign of frustration.

Whining

Generally a sign of discomfort, but some dogs will whine

to get attention.
