YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Life Research has officially revealed the ‘ naughtiest’ breed of dog By You Magazine - November 9, 2018 They may be man (or woman’s) best friend, but even the most devoted of pet lovers will admit that their pooch can be a naughty at times. However, new research has shown that some breeds may misbehave more than others – if you take barking to be misbehaving, that is. The data was collated by smartphone camera company Furbo, who asked users of their product, which allows owners to keep an eye on their dogs when they’re home alone, to find out which breeds barked most often. Based on the figures, they came up with a ‘naughty’ and a ‘nice’ list – with Samoyeds coming out as the noisiest pups of all, barking on average of 52.8 barks a day.

Gentle giants Bernese Mountain Dogs, who only bark an average of 3.1 times every 24 hours.

Pet WebMD points out that dogs often yell when they’re alarmed, frightened, lonely, or territorial, as well as seeking or attention or simply greeting or playing with you. ‘Once you know why your dog is barking, you can start working on ways to decrease his annoying habit,’ they add. So, if your furry friend is noisier than most, try to understand the reasons behind the barks, and consult with your vet or an animal behaviourist if you’re concerned. After all, silence is sometimes more concerning, as some pups only go truly quiet when they’re up to mischief… RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR Everything we know about The Crown season 5 Aldi s exercise equipment is on sale with up to 50% off The best Halloween events for 2022 across the UK Popular in Life The You magazine team reveal their New Year s resolutions December 31, 2021 Susannah Taylor The TLC tools your body will love January 23, 2022 How to stop living in fear February 6, 2022 Susannah Taylor My pick of the fittest leggings February 27, 2022 Women’ s Prize for Fiction 2022 winner announced June 17, 2022 These BBC dramas are returning for a second series June 30, 2022 Susannah Taylor gives the lowdown on nature s little helper – CBD April 17, 2022 The baby names that are banned across the world April 27, 2022 The Queen has released her own emojis May 26, 2022 Sally Brompton horoscopes 27th June-3rd July 2022 June 26, 2022 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
