Do Border Collies bark a lot?
Yes, Border Collies are barkers. They will often bark when they are hungry, excited, bored, playful, lonely, or in need of attention. Their herding dog instincts make them highly alert so their bark is rarely triggered without reason. Of course, every dog is different so some Border Collies may bark more than others. But considering their high intelligence, Border Collies can definitely be discouraged from barking with proper training and exercise.
