It’s almost like an emotional state. What is complex for dogs is smell, the way they read the local bulletins pissted by all the locals, their health, their fertility, what they have been eating, their emotional state. And then they can leave their own peemail for others to smell and get all the latest community news :)
These scientists are stupid. It’s not a language. Barks are always just trying to provoke a reaction.
Not the same as barking but wolf howls are complex and unique to species and pack. Atleast shows they may be something there.
100% agree. I imagine most dogs just think their barks are magic and they just want to try it on everything.
However dogs also make a lot more sounds that just barks. Woofs, whines, yips, groans, whimpers, harrumphs…
My dog always harrumphs when I tell her to stop barking, there’s no one here.
