Do Canaan Dogs bark a lot?

No, Canaan Dogs don’t often bark a lot and are known to be moderately vocal. They tend to bark when they want to alert their pet parents to something unusual or when they’re playing. Their natural guarding instincts may make them more inclined to bark at strangers or new noises, so early and thorough socialization is key to helping them feel comfortable and secure in the world around them, reducing the likelihood of barking from anxiety.

Providing daily enrichment, exercise, and companionship will also support their emotional and physical well-being and can prevent boredom or frustration-related barking.
