Is a dog less likely to bark when the owner is in a self-defense/life or death situation when it's abused and not properly taken care of it?
Can you elaborate on the effect of neglect on the dog's behavior?
Neglected dogs are prone to exhibit anxiety, fear, or depression, which can affect their behavior towards humans and other animals. They may also have reduced social skills or develop a negative association with humans due to their experience of being neglected.
