Do Old English Sheepdogs bark a lot?

Yes, Old English Sheepdogs can bark a lot, but this might vary depending on the individual dog. Old English Sheepdogs are naturally watchful and alert, which can lead them to bark to alert their pet parents to perceived threats or changes in their environment. They might bark to announce the arrival of visitors or to protect their territory.

Proper training and socialization from a young age can help teach the dog when barking is acceptable and when it is not. Ensuring they get enough physical exercise and mental stimulation can also help reduce excessive barking that may stem from boredom or pent-up energy.
