No, Irish Setters aren’t excessive barkers, but they may bark in certain situations, such as when they’re excited, bored, frustrated, or alarmed. Friendly and sociable, they may also vocalize to greet people or other animals. Consistent enrichment, exercise, rest, and reward-based training can help keep barking to a minimum.
