Dog Barking and Wanda

My parents have been visiting for the past week and taking care of the gang while I'm at work. They were confused why as soon as Wanda would run out the door, she would bark.

I explained that she is just saying "hello." Yes it really is a type of barking called self-identification barking.

If you're not familiar with it "Self-identification barking is what you may be hearing when your dog seems to be answering other dogs he hears barking in the neighborhood. It is his way of saying, "I am over here."

And that's my Wanda never wanting to be left out.
