      I’m not really sure but I guess you could call it a language. It’s not a very complected language but I’d say they’re definitely trying to communicate!

      I agree. I think it is certainly a form of communication. It is basic, but it is not just making noise.

      It’s the dogs communicating with each other. It doesn’t mean much to us, although you can normally tell if a dog is barking in anger or being playful.
