It's like when a baby's crying so you make crying noises back at it to mock it even though it has no idea what you're doing.

Eh, no. My usual reaction to a barking dog (assuming I'm safe inside) is to shout SHUT THE **** UP! If I'm outside and a dog barks at me I make that clicking sound you make with your tongue when you're trying to attract a dog to be petted, the calling thing: make it see you're neither hostile nor a threat.

This is what normal people do.

Question: What should you do if a dog barks at you and he's outside the fence?

Batty, you do realise that barking at at dog who's already barking at you will be taken by that dog as a challenge, don't you? At best, he'll keep barking and get more aggressive, at worst he'll go for you. Stupidity 101, my friend. Do NOT challenge a dog's alpha status.

Dogs generally don't see a human barking at them as a threat because they're just confused as to why you're barking, cause you're not a ****ing dog. And this was a dog in the general vicinity of the neighborhood that was clearly in its yard while I was far off in my own fenced in yard.

No. Dogs are scary and rabid, always. Just like the movies.

You're still an idiot for inciting and tempting him.

Where dogs are concerned, always defer to them if you don't know them and they don't know you. A friendly approach will always work better than an aggressive one. Simples.

tfw 2 months in your 2nd year of uni you realize that you've once again chosen a program that you have absolutely no interest in and can now feel yourself starting the downward spiral.

This.
As someone who has been attacked by a dog before, I agree.
