Meanwhile, Dog Journalist Audrey shares with Netbuzz Africa some of the real reasons why dogs bark at night.

“Dogs become bored easily when they have nothing to do, and will make their own fun. Barking at every sound they hear, joining in with the neighbor dogs in a group barking session, or just barking to let out energy are all reasons behind night barking.”
