    But if a lone dog’s body language is unique to the dog, wouldn’t that also be true of the bark?

      I am sure its vastly different than other dog’s barks, just like the body language is.

      But why would they use the bark as communication, if they communicate fine with body language? It’s pretty obvious my dog is aloof to other dogs when we are at outings, she wants to join in but can’t figure out how to act more often than not.

      Then there are the other dog’s who do seem to communicate, verbally and else wise.

        I think it’s a combination of things, barking and body language and possibly other things we can’t detect.
