From first hand experience I have to put in my 2 cents and say it is not always about pent up energy. I am not working right now and spend all day playing with my puppy and she still barks. She has everything she could ever want but is just vocal and I think being a bit of a brat and barking for the fun of it. Sometimes when your in an apartment or need to get work done you have to resort to punishment to get them to stop quickly while you work on training which can take a while.
