What does it may mean when your dog loses his ability to bark sometimes? For example: bark bark bark then he can’t get the bark out.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If he is able to produce a normal bark at first then this is not too concerning at all. This just means he did not get enough air through the cords to produce a normal bark. Basically just of a less intense effort. Have a great day!
