Feeling irritable can cause dogs to bark at things that do not mind long before - other animals, loud cars or equipment, or children. Older dogs can develop vision or hearing problems

that lead him to be caught more easily (this is also why some older dogs start biting people who have always wanted before. If your dog tries to bite you and then act immediately ashamed, you may be startled .)

If your older dog suddenly barking a lot, start by checking out their physical environment and the changes evident in their health. If you do not see anything different, carried away to the vet for a checkup and talk to your veterinarian about the possible physiological changes that may be causing the new behavior of your dog. As hearing of an older dog starts to go, you can bark at things that are not there. In his mind it is better to be safe and bark to be caught unaware and asleep on the job.
