my german shepherd puppy

Question
sometimes zoey my 5 month old puppy barks alot. I noticed today that when she was barking her voice was hoarse like she losing her voice. That is her only symtom she is not sick. Is ther something wrong with her?

Answer
Hi,

You need to read up and research how to stop a puppy from barking.  If she is lonely and you are away, it could be separation anxiety.  If she is barking just to bark and let everyone know she is there, you can keep her occupied with other things.  There is nothing physically wrong with her.   This is a behavioral issue, do your research and then train her to not bark for no reason.

PS it is a dog, and dogs bark for many reasons, some are to alert you to  danger...   so be easy on her, she is just a baby.
