What Do Barks, Whines & Yips Mean?
Test your dogspeak skills with this fun game
Can you correctly identify these dog barks?

You'd think dog owners would ace this test: can you correctly identify all six dog barks? According to the study, even people who don't have dogs could interpret dogspeak for stranger alert and on the attack. But many dog owners (myself included) had a tougher time differentiating between barks for "let's go for a walk" and "give me that ball." How did you fare? Does your dog's communication correlate with the barks demonstrated here?

But different dogs have different barks! You have to know your individual dog(s).

Those are all small dog barks. Can we do it again with big dog barks?
